| Description of the problem | Driving the car the transmission stays in high gear and should be down shifting into lower gear makes a grumbling noise then goes away when at higher speeds 45 plus. I have gone back twice to the dealer and they tell me and the the man that worked on the car thats the 6 speed transmission and thats how it works. I owned the same model 3 years before 2012 and never had this happen. I think theres is a problem with the transmission. Nothing has happen to me or my wife. But something is wrong with the cars transmission. This has happen many times before but dealer states nothing wrong. |
