Consumer Description

I JUST BOUGHT MY 2012 SE A FEW MONTHS AGO. I'VE NOTICED SOME ROUGH SHIFTING WITH MY 4 SPEED TRANSMISSION, PARTICULARLY WHEN DOWNSHIFTING AT ABOUT 25-50 MPH. THE FEELING FROM THE TRANSMISSION ALMOST SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS STUMBLING DOWN THE GEARS, RATHER THEN A SMOOTH DOWNSHIFT. THE ROUGH DOWNSHIFT IS VERY NOTICEABLE AND IRRITATING. OF COURSE WITH THIS BEING A BRAND NEW CAR I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRANNY AND TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY GAVE ME THE STANDARD "WE CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT" ROUTINE AND CLAIMED THAT THEY DID A REFLASH ON THE TRANS. SINCE I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER I HAVEN'T NOTICED THE SHIFTING ISSUE AS FREQUENTLY, BUT IT IS STILL HAPPENING. I WISH I GOT THE 6 SPEED ONE TO SEE HOW IT SUPPOSED TO RIDE. *TR
