The transmission slips when trying to accelerate and on inclines - losing power to the wheels (feels like you are in neutral, and the rpm's go way up). A very scary and dangerous feeling when merging onto a highway for instance. The car has been well maintained and had the transmission fluid replaced per schedule. As seen from others, this is a common complaint for this vehicle. Nhtsa should order a recall. Have also noticed a clunking noise when coming to a hard stop.
Vehicle has 85,000 miles and the transmission slips in 2nd and 3rd gears. Does not matter if the weather is warm or cold or if engine is warm or cold. Reoccurring problem for several months.
Bought my car used to find out that the transmission is slipping. I've looked online to see that I am not the only person with the same problems. Going on to the highway I've noticed that my rpms go high up to 3rd and dont kick into gear until I'm on flat surface on the highway also with a rough slam into the right gear, barely feels like I'm getting the right power. Even driving in the city my car has a rough jerk when going into gears. I cant believe this is not on a recall!!!?.
Transmission slips and jerks going to third gear and sometimes takes about 5 seconds to downshift if acceleration is needed as I'm entering a highway. My car had about 45,000 miles when this started to happen. A lot of people have the same problem according to online forums but the manufacture would not issue a recall on these defective transmissions.
My transmission slips. There are an alarming amount of online forums showing this is an all too common problem with this vehicle yet no recall has been issued. I am also having problems with 3 out of the 4 power windows. The issue seems to be amother default in this model car because there were also plenty of others with this same issue. All 3 went out at the same time. The mechanic tried replacing the motor and other internal parts but it still will not work. The mechanic was unable to fix the problem.
The problem started around 31,000 miles and continues now with 85,000 miles, while driving 40mph at stop and go or even uphill transmission seems to slip into neutral and will then be back in gear without any banging. The dealer changed the filter and fluid around 40,000 miles and blew us off. The time it takes to get back into gear is longer now than in the beginning. There's too many transmission complaints to be ignored. I recently received an unrelated recall for this car but will find another dealer 50 miles away to fix it.
