Description of the problem | Shortly after departing for work in the morning hours and while traveling on city streets, i noticed a problem with the acceleration of the car following a brief stop at a stop sign. The car was moving, although in a very sluggish and unresponsive manner when depressing the gas pedal. It seemed as though the car was in the wrong gear and struggling to gain momentum. I tried to trouble shoot the problem as i was looking for a open place to pull over to the curb and i switched into manual mode while still in motion to see what gear the display would show... I was surprised to see that the "d" remained even though i tried several times to verify the active gear through several cycles of slight acceleration and deceleration. It seemed as though the dct was confused and unable to properly accelerate the vehicle. This is clearly an unsettling and unpredictable safety concern and problem that needs to be addressed with the highest priority. |
