| Description of the problem | This car only has 120 miles on it, but the problem has been present since i took delivery. Upon initial acceleration from a dead stop, there is a long dead zone in the accelerator leading to poor throttle response. It's hard to tell when the vehicle is going to begin moving. Once moving, the transmission jumps in and out of various gears, and the car can't decide which gear to use. It also slams in and out of some gears with no consistency. It seems like a program issue, but it needs to be handled very soon or this transmission may not last 10-20k miles. |
