Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION WILL APPEAR TO DISENGAGE BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR WHEN FIRST STARTING OFF IN COLD OR AFTER SETTING FOR LONG PERIODS (9-10 HRS.). STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP THE CAR WILL FEEL AND APPEAR TO START OFF NORMALLY, THEN THE TRANSMISSION WILL DISENGAGE, AND THE RPMS WILL SHOOT UP IF YOU DO NOT TAKE YOU FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR THE TRANSMISSION WILL ENGAGE AND CONTINUE ON NORMALLY. THIS IS NOT CONSTANT OR EVERY TIME. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE 3,000 MILE - CURRENT MILEAGE 87,000. DEALER CAN NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE OR DUPLICATE. I HAVE DUPLICATED IT FOR THEM ONCE DURING THE COLD WEATHER WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT WITH THEM FOR REPAIRS AND TESTING.
