My transmission seems to be slipping when going in and out of firts ans second gear. I have taken it to shops to have it diagnosed and keep getting a runaround. After alot of reading and speaking to machanics and dealers, they have all pointed to major problems with the transmission which the manufacturer should do something about. There are hundreds of cases about bad transmissions on these vehicles. Something has got to be done. I have another appointment this weekend for someone else to look at it. I dont know of any other options. It needs to be addressed, people are spending so much money on looking for fixes.
