I'd like to preface with the fact that I run a repair shop, and I'm very familiar with cars. My vehicle started acting up significantly. I started having a problem where it feels like the transmission is struggling as if I driving against a strong wind, lack of power. Then the problem started in the mornings only on a cold start where it wouldn't upshift from first to second in a timely manner causing the RPMS to rev to 5000. After transmission is warm approx. 30 + min of driving the vehicle also sticks when needing to upshift to 4th gear and then downshifting back to 3rd.
I took it to a dealership where they told me they couldn't duplicate the problem after explaining to them how to duplicate it. After one week I took it to another dealership who has now had it for over two weeks and they're replacing the transmission. It's under warranty, but this is a common problem if you google it. And people should know. I was able to get a loaner but they don't know how long they'll have my car because, well its warranty work so at their convenience. It's really inconvenient
