| Description of the problem | Transmission hesitates to engage after pressing accelerator and also shifts roughly when it does change gears. All available software patches have been applied by dealer, however the problem persists. This is a safety issue, especially when merging or turning into traffic, since acceleration can lag randomly when it is needed the most. Because of the acceleration bursts and lags when shifting, the car is difficult to control and provides a herky-jerky driving experience. |
