| Description of the problem | Vehicle will shift harshly/jerk at low speeds (most common after accelerating from a stop as well as in stop and go traffic). Vehicle takes longer to change gears (rpms hang then drop). Down-shifting seems to be an issue as well; delayed down-shift as the vehicle is coming to a stop . Behavior started around 75,000 miles. Transmission also acts as if it is slipping and then suddenly engages, just as if it was in neutral momentarily and then dropped into gear. I would characterize this unpredictable lurching behavior (a result of the harsh up- and down-shifts) as a safety issue. |
