| Description of the problem | The transmission in the 2018 xse v6 is junk. It is jerky on acceleration (like driving a manual transmission) and when shifting from 1st to 2nd the shifts are hard, and clunky. Even worse when cold. When coming to a stop, the shift from 2nd to 1st happens with a huge thud. Had dealer take a look and they told me nothing was wrong after hooking it up to their computers. Pretty disappointed in the way this brand new car drives. Major hesitations when accelerating. Causes entire car to jerk until the motor smooths out. This loyal toyota owner for over 30 years is strongly thinking about switching brands. 5k miles on car. |
