It's probably the transmission solenoid pack. Either that or the tranny is going south.

How many miles on it? If over 40,000 or so, a flush of tranny & fill with ATF + 5 might help. (and can't hurt)

Mine has always done that from day one. Whether that is a problem or not can't say.[:I]

17000?

That's what warranties are made for. Take it to another authorized dealer if you have to and insist they fix the problem.
Can you demonstrate the poblem on demand, or does it only happen some of the time? Try to videotape the problem if you can't demonstrate it.


There might be a service advisory out about this problem. If you can find it online show it to the dealer


Good luck.
