1 Transmission Solenoid problem

Failure Date: 08/09/2011

I started to notice that once I hit a steady 30-35 mph (on the streets) it hesitates to accelerate. Then it jerks and im running normal again. Took it to the transmission mechanic. He said my trans fluids are fine, however, my pan is "burnt". I do fine on the freeway. Its mostly when im driving through the streets and stop and go at lights. He ran some codes and the results were the "gear 5 incorrect ratio and the solenoid" ---something(sorry). He said to overhaul a trans I would be looking at $1800+.

2 Transmission Solenoid problem

Failure Date: 11/13/2009

My car started jerking when I put in reverse and drive. While drive I hear a rattling noise underneath the gear shift. I took the car to the dealer and they stated the transmission had a loose solenoid box and that it needed tightening for $900. Also at lower speeds I feel the car slipping especially on turns.
