| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: When accelerating from a dead stop, the transmission fails to slip into first gear sometimes. the car will jerk a little as the transmission attempts to go into first gear, and the "check transmission" light and "check engine" light will come on. at this moment, the transmission is in a failed state, and you have to stop the car completely, wait a while for the transmission to recover (about 5-10 seconds) before you can try to accelerate again. this poses a serious danger, especially when entering intersections. i've had a situation where i was trying to make a right turn and merge onto a busy street, only to have the suv jerk me forward a few feet, and have the transmission fail. i had to come to a full stop, let the car recover before accelerating away. luckily, there wasn't a car approaching, or else, i would've been left helpless (unable to accelerate), and would've gotten hit. this problem has occurred a few times now, and luckily for me, it hasn't resulted in any accidents as of yet. i reported this to the dealer, but they said that there is nothing they can do unless they can reproduce the problem while they have the suv.*ak |
