Description of the problem	There is a recurring issue with the transmission where in low or slow speed situations when you apply power the transmissions stutters or stumbles. It is most prevalent when turning in an intersection across oncoming traffic where you never quite stop or when rolling at stop sign. When you apply throttle the car shift logic seems confused at what gear to go into so it just sits there or lurches, then to get going you have to apply full throttle so it picks the correct gear to accelerate in. The causes a high speed reaction in the vehicle, which is not safe either. This vehcile has three driving modes. The default, normal setting. Econ, and sport. Sport setting seems to correct this safety issue, but it has to be turned on each time the car is restarted. Sport mode then locks out overdrive so you must then physically return the car to normal mode to get it to return to 6th gear or overdrive. I have been driving more than 23 years and have had probably 40 different vehicles, this transmission renders the vehicle nearly undrivable in some situations. In certain scenarios when you really need the vehicle to accelerate it may not and you may be hit by oncoming traffic, a train etc. This has been an issue since the car was driven off the lot.
