| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Car has very poor shifting characteristics. it is always annoying and sometimes unsafe. twice i have started to quickly accelerate from a stop to turn left and had the transmission start to downshift then wait through a delay as if the software was confused. the result was the car sitting in the intersection with the accelerator depressed but no power to the wheels for around 1 or 2 seconds. dealer acknowledges "shifting comfort" issues are the number one complaint for the car but says no fix is available. i have been in discussions with the service manager on this issue for over 8 months and have had no help.*ak |
