I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER ON 3 OCCASIONS BECAUSE I CAN FEEL A VERY ROUGH JERK WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 30 AND 45 MPH AND/OR AGAIN AT 50-65 MPH. I AM ABOUT TO MAKE A 4TH APPOINTMENT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DATES ARE 9/29/03 ODOMETER = 35831; 3/27/04 ODOMETER = 43206; 5/29/04 ODOMETER = 458…

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER ON 3 OCCASIONS BECAUSE I CAN FEEL A VERY ROUGH JERK WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 30 AND 45 MPH AND/OR AGAIN AT 50-65 MPH. I AM ABOUT TO MAKE A 4TH APPOINTMENT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DATES ARE 9/29/03 ODOMETER = 35831; 3/27/04 ODOMETER = 43206; 5/29/04 ODOMETER = 45826. CURRENTLY ODOMETER = 53991. EACH TIME THE REPAIR, WHICH WAS UNDER WARRANTY, INVOLVED A SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD. ON 5-29-04, THE SOP CRUISE SWITCH WAS REPLACED. THIS STILL HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. NOW I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WILL SOON EXPIRE AND I WILL EITHER HAVE TO START PAYING FOR THE REPAIR OR BUY A NEW CAR SOONER THAN I HAD PLANNED. I LIKE BOTH THE CAR AND THE DEALER. I JUST WANT TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. *NM
