Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Check for transmission software update, as it initially seemed to have the must discussed problem of harsh and irregular shifting when rolling to a stop and then re-accelerating. This problem has continued intermittantly and now the vehicle sometimes drops completely out of gear when slowing down or turning. The vehicle then dropped out of gear and I had no acceleration, as it was suddenly like I was in neutral. High RPM.... But no movement. After a few seconds, the transmission seems to find drive and I can then move forward with normal acceleration.”
