The sudden movement in reverse almost…

Soon after taking possession of this vehicle (9/27/13) i noticed that now and again (4/5 times) there would be a hesitation from the automatic transmission when shifting to the next higher gear when accelerating to highway speed. It was so subtle that i filed it under "nothing is perfect", but would keep score. Don't be misled by the low mileage above. That is my new normal. A head and neck injury in 2001 followed…

I have had this suv for almost one year. On multiply instances i have thought to have put this truck in park, but it has either gone into neutral or reverse. It comes with an electronic shifter. Because it is electronic it has the same position in any and all of the four desired gears. Further complicating the process of making sure the truck is in the desired gear is that the only way to tell what gear you are in…

Vehicle is slow when shifting in low gears; pulling away from stop lights/signs feels as if the car is not in drive and going to stall. This could result in being rear ended since so many drivers speed away when light turns green. It seems like it stutters during shifting. Having it in eco-mode highlights the issue further. The down shifting at higher speeds feels like a stick shift car, not normal or comfortable.…
