Jerking or lurching by model year
What owners say
The transmission failed causing the vehicle to hesitate and jerk upon acceleration , the consumer requested financial assistance but was denied, transmission had been replaced before, the new one failed after only 30000 miles. Nlm
Cuts out while driving. Lurches when it does start working, almost hit another car.
Transmission downshift is late when car is cold -- dangerous at intersection. Major clunk when hot -- lurches passengers!
Sometimes transmission jumps back and locks in 2nd gear around 35mph while in 3rd gear under light pedal. Only way to cure is stop engine, start again, then trans normal for awhile. Does not downshift to 1st when locked (limp mode?). Under light takeoff, shift into 2nd sometimes jerks violently. Other times transmission makes all shifts smoothly. Transmission is totally unpredictable
Transmission will not engage in reverse, jerks when you slow down.
