| Description of the problem | Bought this auto new and from beginning had problems with rough or stuttered shifting when climbing hill (worst), descending hill, driving on flat areas, depressing or releasing gas pedal. I let the maintenance dept know when getting car serviced at three months and was told this was normal! Sure. I brought this up again two more times and they could find nothing wrong. After the recall came out on the transmission control mod , the fix helped somewhat. Now a few weeks later, it is worse than before, especially in the hills. This fixed didn't help and more investigation needs to take place in order to find the problem and fix it correctly. This had being going on almost 4 years from the date of purchase to yesterday last day driven. Sooner or later the transmission will quit working from this trouble. |
