| Description of the problem | Vehicle is hesitating to find appropriate gear at very low to low speeds (0-20 mph). The result is the absence of smooth transition to the next higher or lower gear and frequent abrupt lunging of the vehicle in a forward direction. This seems to pose a safety concern for vehicle occupants and pedestrians in situations which involve parking and/or pedestrian right of way. This happens repeatedly and not only on date indicated below as required by this form. *js |
