THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SECOND TIME SOMETHING SIMILAR HAPPENED. AFTER NORMAL STREET DRIVING, STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND SO FORTH MY VAN WAS RUNNING FINE. THEN APPROACHED AND STOPPED FOR A TRAFFIC JAM. AFTER SEVERAL STOP AND GOES, THE CVT TRANSMISSION DID NOT WANT TO COME OUT OF LOW GEAR AND WAS RIDING AT HIGH RPMS....THEN SWITCHED TO HIGH GEAR. TRYING TO MOVE IN HIGH GEAR, FLOORING THE GAS PEDAL, STARTED MOVING AND THEN STARTED SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH FROM TWO DIFFERENT GEARS. I PULLED OVER AND WAITED FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES. STARTED BACK UP AND WAS STILL IN HIGH GEAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET ENOUGH MOMENTUM AND THEN GRADUALLY MY VAN STARTED RUNNING AS USUAL, AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. *TR
