| Description of the problem | When you take your foot off the gas with the speed of the car betweed 30 to 45 mph, it frequently does not coast. It actually decelerates as though it is stuck in a low gear (rpm is 1600 to 1700 with foot off the gas). It releases in 4 to 6 seconds and then you do coast (rpm now drops to 1100). Dealer observed the complaint as we slowed from 45 to 30 mph before the transmission seemed to "release" and allow the car to coast. Dealer has no answer. |
