Description of the problem | The transmission shifts hard and sometimes skips gears. It will shift very late and do a jolt and it feels likes i was hit by another car, gives a slight whiplash feeling to the passengers. Sometimes when i go from reverse to drive the back wheels lock up and the back half of the car lowers to the ground while the front of the vehicle rises. The vehicle also sometimes accelerates on its' own when i don't have my foot on the gas. I can be driving at any point around 20-30mph and my rpms will jump to 3000+ and the engine makes loud noises like it is being overworked to go 20 mph and it will stay like that for a good 4-8 seconds. All of these problems have drastically decreased the mpg my car gets. All of these problems are when the car is in motion. The "start/stop" feature also has many problems. If i forget to turn it off i can be at a red light and once it turns green i let go of the brake and go to hit the gas and the car is still in the process of starting back up, takes anywhere between 1-3 seconds to startup. This has almost caused me to get into several accidents. I don't feel safe in this car anymore. It was fine up until about 30,000 miles, but it has gone down hill since then. I am at about 45,000 miles right now. |
