Consumer Description

VEHICLE WILL SHUDDER AND STALL WHEN COMING TO A STOP MOST OFTEN IN THE UPHILL POSITION, IT WILL ALSO STALL WHEN COMING TO A STOP AFTER BRAKING HARD. THIS PROBLEM IS AVOIDED IF YOU PLACE THE CAR IN NEUTRAL BUT THAT IS THE ONLY WAY. ENGINE IDLE WILL DROP DRASTICALLY AND THE VEHICLE HAS A HARD TIME REENGAGING INTO DRIVE AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. I ASSUME IT IS THE CVT TRANSMISSION OR THE TORQUE CONVERTOR.
