Consumer Description

WHEN THE CAR IS EXCELLING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, AROUND THE TIME THE CAR IS REACHING 10 MPH, BRAKING FOR A COMPLETE STOP THAN HAVING TO ACCELERATE BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP; SUCH AS WHEN A STOPPING FOR A RED LIGHT AND THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN, OR SLOWING DOWN FROM EXITING THE INTERSTATE THE VEHICLE WILL SHIFT HARD, MAKING A 'CLUNK' TYPE SOUND. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS THE STEERING WHEEL WILL MAKE SUDDEN SMALL JERKING MOTION. BOTH PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, IN VARIOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE CRUISE HAS BEEN ON AND OFF WHEN THE STEERING ISSUE HAS OCCURRED; THE TRACTION CONTROL HAS BEEN ON AND OFF WHEN THE STEERING ISSUE HAS OCCURRED. I DRIVE IN 'ECO' MODE REGULARLY. AND I AM NOT INCLUDING SUDDEN STOPS IN THIS COMPLAINT. *TR
