Filed Jan 3, 2024 · Driver assistance, Electrical · FL

Multiple warnings occur on information screen. 1. Transmission system problem. 2. Blind spot info system problem. 3. Electric parking brake problem. 4. Emissions system problem. Transmission begins to slip and behave radically. RPM rev above normal as if it can't upshift. Dealer recently did service on transmission and replaced module. Also had recall service completed for stalling at intersections/full stop. Vehicle has had transmission issues throughout our ownership. approx. 6 yrs. bought used from dealer.

1. Step on accelerator and the car jolts forward like it is in the wrong gear or you slam the accelerator, or the clutch is released rapidly. Jerks ones head back. 2.come to a stop, transmission downshifts hard causing the car to lunge forward overpowering the brake. (engine at idle). Most of the time it feels like someone has tapped you from behind. . When it occurs it is usually the first 2-3 times I come to a stop in a trip. 3.driving on level or slight decline, let off accelerator and slow to make a turn to go up a hill, step on accelerator as you transition uphill transmission slips out of gear (as if you are holding the clutch in and releasing it too slowly) then searches for the correct gear required to go up the hill and accelerate. (engine near idle) 4.most of my driving is in the city. . Stop and go. . Slow and go. . .

When driving at approximately 40 MPH the car suddenly accelerates. I first noticed problem when coasting downhill, but now occurs on level highway also. Also there are periods when one tries to accelerate from a stop or from reverse to drive that the transmission hesitates before shifting into gear. At that point the engine has revved up causing the car to lurch forward when the gear does engage. Additionally even after a recall, the parking gear slips allowing the car to roll down hill. These problems have resulted in near accidents. Updated 11/18/15*lj

The safety incident(s) to be reported: 1) vehicle seemed to jump into neutral' when decelerating almost to a stop (e.g. To make a turn) resulting in the engine revving and no power when the accelerator is pressed. Tach did not move and the transmission display still reads d. This left me in the middle of an intersection with no power being delivered to the wheels. There was no oncoming traffic. Unfortunately this has happened repeatedly when the engine is cold. So far there have been no accidents. Each of the following safety problems are also ongoing: 2) intermittent and variable duration hesitation from a stopped position (or slowed down to around 10mph or less and then accelerating) makes it dangerous to turn swiftly across oncoming traffic. 3) intermittent and variable duration slipping when trying to accelerate from a slow (10mph or less) coast makes it dangerous to perform any maneuver that requires a swift and reliable response from the transmission. 4) intermittent and variable duration revving between gears when kicking down to try to pass another vehicle makes such maneuvers risky.

Issue 1 - basically, when the car is cold (as in hasn't been driven for about 3 hours or more) it shifts pretty hard 1-2, 2-3, etc. Regardless of the ids mode. However, it seems that it is less pronounced in "econ" mode, probably because it softens the shifts a bit. Sometimes it is more noticeable than other times. It also seems that it is even slipping a bit when accelerating from a stop, kind of like in a manual transmission when you let the clutch slip too much. When the car warms up to operating temp, I really don't notice it shifting hard at all, and in fact the shifts are almost imperceptible 90-95% of the time. Issue 2 - when slowing down (say coming to a traffic light and not coming to complete stop and making right or left turn at say about 10mph speed or so and hit on the gas pedal to speed up, the transmission hesitates and doesn't know which gear to engage thus making a very jerky feel. Issue 3 - I have noticed is that when coming to a stop, sometimes it really slams into first gear, and I mean hard enough to shake the car. This happens rarely, but when it does its very disconcerting. Issue 4 ? There is the 3-4 second delay when I engage the car into the (d) drive position either from (p) park or reverse.
