Car hesitates during acceleration. Also gets stuck in certain gear at times, especially when going downhill. Car jerks a couple times a week when accelerating. Has been happening since the beginning. Dealers did tbs and no change. Say that it is not a problem and nothing they can do. Scared to let kids drive.
History: automatic transmission began flaring when cold after putting around 400 miles on the new car -- gear wouldn't "catch" and would skip gears; in shop for TSB to correct problem, but didn't correct it; in shop again to replace transmission since corporate claimed that would for sure correct flaring problem; additional problems resulting from new tranny including strange whooshing noise on driver side, jerkiness when changing gears, and hesitation when accelerating; back to shop to correct; shop was able to remove whooshing noise, but jerkiness remained and flaring continued albeit at different times than it did before. Failure and consequences: after stopping at a stop light, tried to make left-hand turn to join the interstate merge lane, but car would not supply enough power despite being in drive and pushing on the accelerator appropriately; barely made it across the intersection before having to pull over to shoulder to stop, put on hazard lights, and let other interstate traffic get by; theorizing that the transmission probably got stuck in whatever gear the car was in as I approached the stop light (3rd or 2nd) and then didn't appropriately downshift itself to get up to power coming from a complete stop at the stop light to cross the intersection; because the cars behind me were paying attention and roads free of ice and they saw that the car was not able to get up to speed, I was lucky not to be rear ended. What was done to correct failure: because it's been in the shop 5 times for bad transmission, not sure what they'll do to correct it -- that is pending. Will likely request buy back due to safety concerns and apparent inability to correct underlying transmission problems.
