Consumer Description

The vehicle has been in the dealership from where it was bought numerous of times for the same problem. Transmission shifts very hard from one to two and Has lots of slippage. Dealer recommended a transmission flush and it did not fix the problem. They would keep telling me that the transmission is normal for slipping and slamming hard while changing gears. I’ve been to multiple shops and nobody seems to know how to give me a correct answer or guide me on how to fix my problem.
