| Description of the problem | Dangerous jerkiness and loss of power when shifting through first 3 gears. When coming out of a stop the vehicle experiences noticeable lag as it shifts through each gear. Engine revs, power drops, and then it suddenly jerks into gear. Took it to dealership and was told there are no trouble codes and i should just keep driving. Issue was reproducible in normal and sport mode, and was verified by the technician when i made him accompany me on a test drive. |
