| Description of the problem | While attempting to make a turn at a stop light, vehicle began to shake and slow down. It felt as if it was going to lose power. I had to push the accelerator harder than expected as there was another vehicle bearing down on me in oncoming traffic. This is a new vehicle. I brought it to the dealer and it appears to be a torque converter issue. The shaking is not an issue in itself, however it could lead to accidents if someone is making a turn and needs to get out of oncoming traffic as the transmission does not seem to respond as expected. *js |
