Hi there,
Just wondering if anyone has had similar trouble with this model before. Mine seems to be fine at times but suddenly starts giving problem. What it does "it just changes gears very fast all the way to top gear" and then fixes itself there. At this point it gives a feeling as if the speedo meter & rpm meter are stick together. No mattar if I am driving at 80kms or high the gears does not shifts even if I give it a full boot. However if I come to a dead stop and drives again it acts as normal and shifts the gears normally. But when I remain on a constant speed for a while it does the same again. It will also do the same thing if I am crawling in slow moving traffic.
This problem is there for more then 1 year. I have already replaced the transmission oil & filter couple of times as per the car specification, but the problem remains. Computer was also checked for the error codes but there were no errors found.
Already checked by couple of mechnics. One suggested to replace the transmission with a used one and another has suggested to do a transmission overhaul.
Appreciate any help on diagnoses
