Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Transmission between 2nd and 3rd gear- in the last month or so, we have noticed a hesitation and then hard shift into third gear during regular city driving. we spent 2/16/2004 at the dealership for an oil change, tire rotation, and examination of this problem. they performed a reflash of the tcm/ptm and left the dealership satisfied. about 15 minutes later, it started again. we called back and as of this morning, we have scheduled a drive with the transmission mechanic. i have noticed a number of complaints here and on edmunds.com. i really hope this can be solved for an otherwise great minivan.*jb
