Continue to drive after stopping the car, transmission will shift from first gear into second gear and stuck there, then the gear will shift normally only after u bring the car to a total stop and drive again. Happened to me several times after I stopped the car at a traffic light before I was trying to get on the highway.
Automatic transmission on the 2010 Cadillac Srx performance trim sticks in low gear when trying to accelerate, leading to inability to safely merge onto the freeway or expressway. Once stuck, the only way to 'unstick' is to bring the car to a complete stop (0 mph), when the transmission shifts down and seems to 'reset' itself. Merging onto oncoming traffic at higher speeds is consequently made unsafe due to the fact that the car cannot speed up reasonably and is restricted in terms of the maximum speed it can achieve on the 'stuck gear'. Issue seems to replicate consistently and has been seen mostly during the first few minutes of driving the vehicle after it cools down. The automatic transmission that usually shifts b/w 2000 - 2500 rpm goes as high as 6000 rpm without budging from the 'stuck' gear.
