NHTSA complaint #10006252, filed 2003-02“Automatic transmission jerks/lurches violently upon upshift from 1st to 2nd (automatic transmission). Transmission does not engage for a few seconds after depressing accelerator - very scary when on expressway entrance ramp! Dealer inspection determined that transmission control unit was faulty (this is an adaptive automatic transmission). Parts were not available to repair the problem - long wait required! Car is driveable but we are very cautious.”
