| 130000 mi | Torque converter replaced |
| 5000 mi | Car Jerks a lot when accelerating and braking. The car jerked really bad on acceleration. It drove me crazy. I had the first dealer look at it and they said it was fine. Took it to the second dealer and they did a TSB to reprogram the shifting feel. It is better, but not perfect. |
| 15500 mi | Transmission would jerk very badly when driving in town. The car would just jolt when letting off the accelerator and when coming up to the desired speed. Dealer reprogrammed the car to shift differently. Works much better. |
| 24000 mi | Transmission jerks. They are going to replace the torque converter. This model has issues with them. Had to order the parts. Torque Converter replaced to stop the jerking problem. They tried to reprogram the vehicles ECU 2 times, but not effective. Replaced torque converter. Hope this will stop the unpleasant jerking when driving around town. |

| 23000 mi | TSB for transmission. At low speeds under light throttle conditions, the transmission would stutter. Dealer did software update to resolve. |
| 54900 mi | The software would cause a shudder from the torque converter when you feathered the throttle at lows speed or at highway speed under sixty. It was the worst at low speeds. It was like a manual shift driver riding the clutch badly for a sec. |
