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.

 

Can someone explain what a trans slam is?

 

My 550 is not a DD but I drove it to work again and no probs.

 

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

 

or like stated above when ur driving at low rpm's 1500 in my case the tranny/car jerks a little bit (noticeable) and it's a constant jerk or kick until u speed up.

 

got my car back today.

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

 

so u never got that kick or jerk at low rpms?

 

no. if i had the car in D at say, a red light, and i went to drive off at green, when i lift my foot off the brake, the car would slam into gear.

 

hmmm...i wonder if there are different types of tranny slams !! LOL. I get that jerk at exactly 1500 rpms when cruising on city streets.

 

hmm. could be. mine also only happens right after starting the car. 5-10 mins of operating, it goes away
