| Description of the problem | Continuous issues with transmission. When car gets hot, which can be within minutes living in arizona, the gas pedal when floored, barely increases speed from a stop. Car has been to dealership 3 times for service of this issue. 1st time a cooler was added to the transmission. Then a recall was issued and we brought it in again. Things were working for a short period of time. Now that the weather is starting to warm up, the issue is occurring again. I brought it back to the dealership and they claim they can't find anything wrong, no codes/errors appeared. The issue continues. After speaking with a couple of reputable mechanics, this is a known issue with the cvt transmission and there is no known fix. I do not feel safe driving my car. |
