POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I'VE NOTICED SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THAT IT SOMETIMES HESITATES WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS FROM A DEAD START AND YOU MUST MAINTAIN YOUR FOOT ON THE PEDAL UNTIL IT SHIFTS OR IT WOULD JERK. I'VE NEVER DRIVEN A VEHICLE THAT PERFORMED THIS WAY AND NOT KNOWING MUCH ABOUT CARS, DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A PROBLEM. NOW IT'S STUCK IN GEAR AT 60MPH. IT HAS ALSO DROPED INTO NEUTRAL FOR NO APPARENT REASON BUT ONCE I SHIFTED IT INTO REVERSE AND THEN DRIVE, THE GEAR KICKED IN.*AK
