| Description of the problem | Shortly after purchasing the vehicle i was backing up in driveway and the vehicle hesitated, began moving, and then stalled. That same afternoon i was leaving work and the same identical thing happened. I contacted the dealer, and they stated there was a technical service bulletin and to bring it in. I took it to dealer, and they did an update or something. Recently it started hesitating when put in gear and has stalled on several occasions either when being placed in gear or when coming to a stop. It acted like it didn't want to go, then like the transmission was binding, and just before stalling it lunged forward or backwards, depending on direction of travel, before stalling.*ak |
