so, I have searched this forum and I'm kind of confused. I'll describe my problem:
when start moving from stop, there is a big "hick up" - the car refuses to move and almost choking, then jumps, and then start to move.
it happens all the time, unless i warm up the gear with "kick downs" while driving before stoping (actually it started happening when the weather got realy cold) . the problem does not exist when i shift manually in M mode.
also, when i'm around 20 mph, crusing at low rpm at D, if i want to accelerate- i feel a little vibration.
this two symphtoms are new. its a 2011 2.5 with CVT, has 120K miles on it. No warning lights are flashing.
from reading here, i picked two possibilities:
- Valve body (solenoids) failure
- Torque converter
which one of these are connected to my problem, if at all? could it be just an oil change or re-programing?
Thanks guys!
