Automatic gearbox: jerking and reported replacements
Severity 2/3 · CostlySome owners describe a sluggish automatic gearbox, with abrupt gear changes and slipping at around 85-95 km/h (forum thread where the torque converter or a sensor is suggested as the cause, with reading of fault codes recommended) and one isolated case of the gearbox being replaced at 89,000 km (Caradisiac review). Other owners have reported no problems: these are individual accounts, not statistics.
