| Description of the problem | Transmission remains in 3rd gear when slowing to a stop which makes acceleration very poor when trying to turn across traffic. In 3rd gear the acceleration is very sluggish. As you apply more accelerator pedal, the transmission suddenly downshifts to 1st gear with a slam and tire spin. I've had at the dealer and was told my vehicle had the latest firmware installed and they could do nothing about it. This is a safety concern. The transmission should downshift to 1st gear much sooner than it does. I suspect this is the reason the drivetrain recalls have been happening. I entered 1/13/2021 in the date but this is a consistently reoccurring problem. |
