Description of the problem | Transmission is locking up at any speed while coasting or decelerating,feels like motor and transmission is going to come right out of it. On way back to dealership, it happened at 55mph going around a bend,and front tires locked up and chirped,this was the worse one, if this happened on snow covered roads,there's no doubt that i would have went right into the ditch.. We've only had the car 3weeks and put less than 1500 miles on it. The car started doing this 3 days ago,today took it to dealership,took serviceman on test drive and within a 1/4 mile, he had seen enough,what is wrong with these cvt transmissions,this is a very dangerous situation when a transmission locks up at highway speeds!!! |
