Consumer Description

JUDDERING WHILE GOING 32-39MPH. MOST OBVIOUS WHILE TAKING A LOOPING EXIT RAMP GOING UPHIL AND TRYING TO MAINTAIN 35MPH. IT ALSO APPEARED ON AND OFF WHILE GOING UPHILL ANYWHERE FROM 20-50MPH. DURING THIS TIME IT WAS ALSO HAVING SHIFTING ISSUES, NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND THE CORRECT GEAR, ALONG WITH JUDDERING. I HAD PREVIOUSLY GONE IN FOR A NOISY TRANSMISSION, AND THEY DID THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER UPDATE. THEN AFTER THIS ISSUE AROSE, THEY DID A TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSH. THIS APPEARS TO HAVE FIXED THE ISSUE.
