 Description of the problemI have been complaining since about 6 months after i purchased the vehicle regarding the rough shifting in low gears. The dealer re-set the adaptive transmission, thinking that changes in traffic patterns lead to a difficulty an "adjusting" to a different driving style. This temporarily corrected the problem, however i continue to have rough shifting, delayed acceleration, and sometimes a harsh jolt when decelerating to a stop. The car's transmission software has been updated multiple times, including the most recent s-55 recall. My car was diagnosed as needing software only, not a new wiring harness. However, two days after the software update, while stopped at a traffic light, the vehicle would not move when i stepped on the gas. I was nearly rear-ended by the school bus behind me on a major highway overpass when my car did not move at the change to a green traffic light. The rpms revved as if the car was in neutral, (but it was in d), and after a 5-10 second delay, the car bucked into third gear going 20 miles per hour. At times when coming to a stop, the deceleration from 3rd to 1st gear feels as though i am being rear-ended. The car sometimes revs when at a stop with my foot on the break. Once i received an error message that "the car is traveling at too high of a speed to go into reverse", however i was going from park to reverse and the car was at a complete stop. There is sometimes a delay in acceleration when trying to merge onto the highway. The dealer has been unable to duplicate or diagnose these intermittent issues.
