Consumer Description

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE HESITATED BEFORE JERKING INTO GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE AFTER DRIVING IT OVER 140 MILES. AFTER LICKING UP THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO INTERMITTENTLY HESITATE WHILE ACCELERATING AND WOULD JERK IN VARIOUS GEARS. THE FIRST FAILURE MILEAGE WAS AROUND 60000 AND THE CURRURT MILEAGE IS 88000. ALSO SOMETIMES WOULD JERK FROM 1ST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TO AGAIN CHECK OUT MY PROBLEM. THE CAR IS STILL IN THE WARRANTY PERIOD. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE POSTED, IT ALL SEEMS TO POINT TO A PRESSURE SOLENOID IN THE TRANSMISSION BUT THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE THE PART UNLESS THEY CAN DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.
