| Description of the problem | This is an update to a previously made claim (10761069). To summarize, after 4 failed attempts to have my transmission repaired in september, 2015 the transmission completely failed. The transmission was replaced and it is still driving very similar to the old transmission prior to failure. There is a large lag between pressing the gas pedal and acceleration. This is alarming when entering traffic. Also, there are many hard shifts as it moves through the gears. This is a major safety concern for my family and the quality of this vehicle is suspect. I have started the arbitration process and warn other consumers to consider issues prior to purchase. |
