I originally took it in to have them check the transmission at 82,000. I had the fluid changed by the dealership around 50k so it should be in great shape but it was shifting hard at low speeds. Around 17 mph and randomly. Not consistent at all. Mostly in parking lots or when going from a slight acceleration to no acceleration. They said they needed to do a transmission update. I was skeptical about a software update for a transmission but for $165 I said to do it and if it continued I would trade it in for something more reliable. I took it out for a drive tonight and accelerated fast and hesitated a lot on the gas around 15 mph to see if the transmission would slip or slam but it seems to be fixed. I’ll provide an update in a few weeks after my wife drives it all over to see if that was the fix. They replaced a transmission module a year ago and I thought that had fixed it but it started again after 6 months or so. I’ll have to reply to his thread in a few months to see if the transmission software update worked.
Hoping for a smooth transmission shift for at least 200,000!
