| Description of the problem | Purchased car with 120 miles, about 25k miles i noticed small delay in acceleration when going from complete stop. Mentioned to dealer they stated all was ok. At 50k miles the delay in acceleration was far more noticeable. I would accelerate and rpm would go up to 4,5 or6 before car would move start to move. Brought back to dealer, did road test with tech and he acknowledged that something didn't feel right stated he would have transmission specialist look it over. After having car for 2 weeks we did another road test with master technician and he stated hard shifting was normal acceleration for this truck because of variable transmission. He said ultimately there are no trouble codes so car is 100% fine. At 63,000 miles the transmission gave out! I drove car on highway about 145 miles with no issue, i was driving on a city street when i stopped at a red light. The light turned green and when i pressed on accelerator car would not move. Finally after a few seconds of engine revving car jerked back and rolled forward slightly. Was able to drive car into strip mall parking lot. Took back to dealer and they are saying the transmission is out but can't explain why we still have no trouble codes! They are not willing to cover because it is 3,000 miles out of warranty. |
