The problem started around 19,000 miles (we purchased the car at 14,000). The transmission would jerk then lag during acceleration, around 18 - 35 mph. We complained a number of times but the dealer service center never found anything. We paid for two transmission fluid changes at 19,000 miles again around 25,000. The dealer even tried telling us the wrong fluid was used at 19,000 but that's another story! Finally, the problem occurred and we were close enough to the dealer during business hours and was able to drive the car over to be diagnosed. They said the third pressure switch had gone bad! The car is still in the shop but we are hoping this fixes the issue. I posted this because I have read other complaints just like this. I am hoping this helps others.
