| Description of the problem | The transmission has harsh shifts. Multiple times coming through the city with stop signs it will have a delay and jerk when i start to go again. Some times when i go to cross an intersection there will be a delay which is very dangerous if i'm crossing while yielding to oncoming traffic. I took to the dealer where they started its functioning as it should according to the computers and recommended i used the different modes for better shifting. I would like the better fuel economy and shouldn't have to put it in sport mode for it to somewhat shift better. Even in sport mode it still can't figure out what gear it should be in. I was told it needs to learn my driving pattern but at 10k miles i'm still have ing the issue. If it wasn't a new car i would say the transmission was going bad with how jerky the car can be at times. Very disappointing. |
