Complaint
2008
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I AM EXTREMELY TROUBLED BY ONE PARTICULAR PROBLEM I HAVE NOTICED FROM THE OUTSET: THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT LAG OR HESITATION OF AT LEAST 1 SECOND BETWEEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CLUTCH ENGAGING AND GIVING ACCELERATION TO THE WHEELS. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN FROM A STAND-STILL, BUT OCCURS PRIMARILY WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AT VIRTUALLY ALL RANGES OF SPEED, FROM ROLLING STOP (5KM/HR OR LESS) THROUGH STANDARD ROAD SPEEDS OF ANY DEGREE (RESIDENTIAL 30-40KM/HR, CITY ROADS 50-70KM/HR, OR HIGHWAY 90KM/HR+). THE PROBLEM IS ACUTE IN їDї MODE, BUT OCCURS IN їSї MODE AS WELL. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE NOTICED SINCE THE SAFETY RECALL ON THE M-DCT GEARBOX: THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT LAG OR HESITATION OF AT LEAST 2 SECOND BETWEEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CLUTCH ENGAGING AND GIVING ACCELERATION TO THE WHEELS. THIS RESULTS IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AND CAUSES THE CAR TO JUST "COAST". THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN FROM A STAND-STILL, BUT OCCURS PRIMARILY WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AT VIRTUALLY ALL RANGES OF SPEED, FROM ROLLING STOP THROUGH STANDARD ROAD SPEEDS OF ANY DEGREE . THE PROBLEM IS ACUTE IN "D" MODE, BUT OCCURS IN "S" MODE AS WELL IN 2ND GEAR. THE RESULT OF THIS IS THAT YOU CAN PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND RATHER THAN INCREASE YOUR ACCELERATION NORMALLY, THE CAR WILL JUST COAST WITH NO POWER. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISSES WITH A CHANCE OF A CAR REAR ENDING ME BECAUSE THE GEARBOX IS FUNCTIONING LIKE THIS. *TR
