No summary.
When accelerating from a stop the transmission reacts as if in neutral. After a few seconds, it drops into gear. Since no "codes" show up when the car is taken in for repair the dealer will not acknowledge there's a problem. This is a severe safety hazard that could result in an accident if the driver is attempting to cross a roadway, mover over railroad tracks, etc. The vehicle doesn't move when the accelerator is applied.
