| Description of the problem | Transmission issues. Shuddering when driving at lower speeds (less than 40). When putting the car in gear the transmission is not catching and the car is rolling. This happens in forward and reverse. The car can roll upwards of 20 feet before the transmission catches after you get the car up to 2000+ rpms. There is no guarantee that you will be able to actual accelerate immediately either. 2 days ago i was stopped at a light and had to put my flashers on as i was not able to accelerate. After about 20 seconds the transmission and engine finally started to work together but not well. There was no acceleration. Also 2 day ago the car stalled when leaving a parking garage. This could have proven to be a safety issue if she were actively pulling into traffic. |
