I'm planning to keep my car so i wanted it fixed before my warranty runs out and my car is paid off already so i have no choice. I love this 5' and couldn't' have chose a better car. I will have them keep my car till it's fixed. I dont' want to deal with a bad transmission after the warranty.

It's when your coming to a stop and when the car downshifts it slams and feels like you got rear ended.

My complaint "Transmission slams when cold in drive from a dead stop"
the SA wrote on the invoice:
"23455 confirmed jolt and delay. sib attached to ro applies to this situation and states to reprogram car with latest software. reprogrammed car"
The outcome:
So far, no tranny slam
