Typical transmission symptoms owners report

- Several describe a severe judder or shudder during acceleration, with the RPM and speed gauges bouncing as if the gas pedal were being pumped.
- Multiple owners report jerky or clunky shifting between 1st and 2nd gear, especially at low speed or light acceleration, sometimes starting the moment the vehicle left the dealer lot.
- Some describe shifting noises or a jerking motion while climbing hills at steady throttle, with the RPM needle fluctuating.
- One owner reports a big jerk when shifting gears at 15 to 20 mph right after starting the engine in the morning, which eased after restarting but returned as a smaller shudder through the day.
- One owner reports the dealer diagnosed a software issue and updated the transmission software and fluid, but shifting noises returned later at higher mileage.
