My car has a hard time shift automatically and makes a grinding noise and vibrates when shifting gears. It also falls out of park a lot when on an incline and starts to roll backward. I nearly hit a car behind me because of this and the incline wasn't steep. I found out that the 2016 models had the same issue because of the dsp6 transmission. I also have issues with the evap canister now which is causing my car fuel emission issues and performance.
Car stuttered when gear shifted from 1st to 2nd. Car stood accelatating while driving, causing the transmission to overheat. Transmission now is making a grinding noise.
