Description of the problem | Around 7,000 miles, i began noticing that my car was not shifting properly or smoothly. Initially, i thought that it may have been something that i was doing. Upon shifting the car from park to drive/reverse, the car would lull for a moment, and then suddenly shoot into gear. At first, this was minor. As time as gone on, it has become more frequent and more intense; in one incident, the shift was so intense that my car actually "peeled" out. After reading about the experience from others on recall. Gov, i took my car to my dealership to get examined & hopefully find some type of solution. The service department told me to "have someone stand outside of my car and video record" the car doing this. I explained that it is random and that i could not possibly have someone with me at all times to record this. Their response then was for me (as the driver) to record this on my own phone. I didn't even begin to address their suggestion or the safety concern of that. My fear is that my car is going to shift or accelerate so intensely that i hit something, or worse case, someone. |
