POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IT DROVE PERFECTLY NO HESITATION NO PROBLEMS WHAT SO EVER. OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE I WILL PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR WILL HESITATE AND THEN LURCH BACKWARDS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT OCCURS 1 OUT OF EVERY 25 TIMES. SINCE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME I REALLY HAVE KNOW IDEA HOW MY VEHICLE WILL REACT WHILE BACKING. ALSO MORE RECENTLY OCCURRING IS WHILE DOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND TRYING TO PASS A VEHICLE I WILL ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP INTO A NEUTRAL STATE. I WILL HAVE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER AND RE-START THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THEY HAD VERIFIED MY COMPLAINTS AND ORDERED A NEW VALVE BODY (MECHTRONICS UNIT) AND ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR SINCE IT COULD BE UNSAFE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER FOR 4-6 WEEKS AND THE ONLY ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION THEY COULD PROVIDE FREE OF CHARGE WAS A COMPACT CAR. I DECIDED TO KEEP MY VEHICLE UNTIL THE PART COMES IN HOPING I WILL NOT HAVE ANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL OF THIS PART IS NEEDED. *TR
