Description of the problem | Initially the issue was when turning from a light, the car would get stuck in a low gear and rev real high, until it straightened out a little, then it would switch. The last issue, from a stoplight, the car got stuck in a low gear and i couldn't go past 20 mph unless i wanted to blow the engine. I stopped on the side of the road, waited about 15 mins and slowly tested if the gears would shift and it did. Drove to the dealership and they just simply refilled the fluid and stated to pick it up the next day. This car's tranny fluid was refilled twice in the last two months. No parts changed at all, but they say it's fixed. Must be magical tranny fluid they put in this time. So now i wait for the car to breakdown again and hope that i don't get caught in a position where i need to accelerate and it gets stuck in a low gear. And to top it off, i got this vehicle because i thought a new car would be dependable... I drive sickly elderly clients to their appointments, and there is no way they can endure a breakdown of the car and wait on the side of the road. |
