Consumer Description

2010 CHEVY MALIBU LTZ V6 3.6L HAS HARD GEAR SHIFT UP AND DOWN AROUND 15 MPH, 35 MPH, 50 MPH, MORE NOTICEABLY AT 15 AND 35 MPH. THIS PROBLEM, SO I ASSUME, ALSO CAUSES THE CAR TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN AFTER BRAKING AND LETTING OFF OF THE BRAKE TO COAST AROUND THESE SPEEDS. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE HESITATES AND THEN "LURCHES" FORWARD INTO GEAR. I'M AFRAID THIS MAY CAUSE A REAR END COLLISION. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES TO INVESTIGATE/REPAIR PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP AND GM CLAIM THIS IS "NORMAL PERFORMANCE" FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR
