| Description of the problem | During coasting/deceleration from 35 down to 20 mph, the car will provide a sudden jerk at 25 mph while the a/c is on max. This devolved into tire skidding after a couple weeks while the dealership was test driving it for replication during the week of 8/20/12. The replacement car that i received on 8/28/12 started showing the same symptoms at 800 miles on 9/7/12. Current diagnosis of the manufacturer of the original car indicated the car required a new cvt. At the time, the eta for replacing the cvt (on the original car) was at least 3 weeks. |
