| Description of the problem | The transmission is very clunky thru the gears. I have an automatic, sometimes its delayed when i'm trying to accelerate, itll hesitate before taking off. Iv found if you pulse the gas peddle and let up right as it starts to hesitate then back down again itll kinda avoid it but i'm not always such an active driver. Even down shifting itll be clunky and take a sec to fully do it. Like if you pull into a driveway that's slanted up you first of all have to slow down to enter and when doing that it's all slow at down shifting then u gotta hit the gas some to go up the driveway and it's all delayed at accelerating so the whole process is just clunky and does not feel right. Makes me feel the transmission is gonna burn out early. They say the 2018 models and up use some computerized transmission... I just want to it respond accordingly and to not be so sluggish about it. Sometimes i'm scared to pull out in front of traffic because it wont respond right away and i'll be at a crawling speed till it responds unless i floor it fast and let up before it revs past 3 on the rpm then tap it again. It's like it wakes it up or something i dont understand. |
