Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE FROM A STOP TO MOVE AND ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION. EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND HESITATES AND WHEN IT FINALLY SHIFTS IT SLAMS INTO GEAR. THE MOSTLY OCCURS FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND THEN DURING ACCELERATION. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IS HOW IT IS DESIGNED AND NOTHING IS WRONG. BUT THE PROBLEM JUST KEEPS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. LONGER HESITATIONS AND HARDER SHIFTING. *TR
