Description of the problem | I purchased my vehicle in june of 2018. The car drove beautifully for about 14000 miles. Then i started noticing harsh shifts at lower speeds, shifted fine on the highway. This continued on and i just thought it was normal wear. Then about 2 months after the harsh shifting started i was getting on the highway and accelerating up to speed. I then let off my gas pedal and the car stuck in gear. I tried slowing down and speeding up and the car would not shift. I had to pull over shut the car off and turn it back on during rush hour. This happened again about a month later, so i called to make an appointment at the dealer. Took my car in and the service tech asked me to ride with and show him what it is doing. So i drove the tech around about a half hour. On the way back in traffic at about 35 mph the car stuck in gear again with the tech in the car. They had the car a week and cud not replicate the issue again. They talked about reprogramming my ans but since no reported problems they could not do it. I have had the car back a month and it has happened twice again. So i will yet again make another appointment. This is very unsafe when the transmission will not shift to have to try and pull off on busy highways where there are not always safe places to do so. |
