| 2013 | POWER TRAIN | THIS CONDITION HAPPENS DURING FIRST DRIVE OF THE DAY OR AFTER THE VEHICLE SITS FOR A WHILE. WHILE ACCELERATING THROUGH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THE CAR SURGES/JOLTS AT OR NEAR THE SHIFT POINTS. IT ALMOST FEELS AS IF I STARTED MOVING THE VEHICLE IN THE WRONG GEAR, IF IT WERE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THIS CONDITION ALSO EXISTS IF YOU START MOVING THE VEHICLE FORWARD AND THEN REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND COAST. THIS VEHICLE IS THE RS MODEL EQUIPED WITH THE 1.4 LITER TURBO. *TR |
