| Description of the problem | The car shifts hard. When first started in the morning it ruins up high prm's before the car shifts. The car transmission sometimes fails to engage when i attempt to pass a car on the highway or when i just want to speed up. This can happen when i am going 30 mph or 60 mph. It happens at random times. Recently the electrical system has started acting up. Last week when i went into the grocery store the window went down by themselves while i was in the store.(it was raining out so i am sure the windows were up when i locked the doors to go inside) the driver's side door does not lock or unlock with the remote control. Also when i go to exit the car the lock is sticking and it is at times difficult to open the door. Today when my wife went out to the van the car had unlocked and the front lights were on. I re-locked the car and it unlocked itself again. I have had the car into the dealership where i purchased numerous times(5 or 6) to have the transmission looked at but they don't get an"error code" so they say there is nothing that can be done. |
