Re: Transmission shifting
I am new to this site and came looking to see if the tranny with these cars are going to be an ongoing problem....My car was doing the same thing for the past year, shfting hard especially when it gets warm. It stops after the car is off for awhile but will start again soon. Well unfortunatley it is the transmission and will end up needing to be replaced. I got my car with 60,000 miles on it and in now has 98,000. So needless to say I have been driving it for a few months... I took it to three different dealers all of whom told me nothing was wrong with the car... what happens is the cars internal computer makes some "adaptations" to continue the car to run. It will evevtually hit the "max adapt" mode and you tranny will no longer function. I am currently having mine replaced @ a cost of 2,800, and from what I have been reading I wll definitley pay a little extra for the lifetime warranty for future problems. It is very ironic because my last car was a Ford Taurus whick also had many tranny Problems.... I otherwise like this car very much....
