Transmission tends to long shift at 1st and 2nd gears causing erratic shifting uphill and sometimes turns.

The vehicle failed to shift into park. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician diagnosed that there was a broken wire in the btsi solenoid terminal which needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired by re wiring the ground wire to the shifter where the pin had broken. On may 3rd the key got stuck in the ignition and would not come out.

Started having trouble with my transmission a while back. If I was at a stop and tried to accelerate it was slowly take of then all of sudden slam into the right gear then take off. It also happened even if I didnt come to a complete stop and tried to go again. My check engine light came on after about a month of this happening. I had it checked. It was a shift solenoid. Since I was still under warranty I had it replaced. It was fine till about a two weeks ago 08/20/2013. Now my transmission is doing the same thing again.
