I bought the car at around 55,000... and shortly after purchase it seemed to have issues... They told me it had the wrong fluid and serviced it. Charging me saying the warrantee only covers repair and not service. (Yeah I know I got screwed). So I got it back and it still seemed to have the same issue but I didn't want to take it back. And shortly after I deployed to Afghanistan and couldn't do much about it anyways. Right now the car is at about 75,000 and runs strong. Just has the hesitation while shifting. I've changed oil but nothing else. Which leads me to wonder if plugs, wires and such have ever been replaced? No trouble starting other than I'm having the sticky ignition problem as of lately. Fires up fine and idles fine. Sometimes will driving down like a highway or at a steady rpm. You can heat it stutter and such. I drove it about 3 hours today and it did it several times. And the shifting issue is at each stop, also to add. It seems to do it if I shift as well
There isn’t any grinding noises or vibrations which are normal with trans. issues. Everything runs smooth other than the hesitation… also. If it might help any. And I doubt as it’s probably normal. After driving it today for a long period of time, I could place my finger down below the shift **** and feel the shaft was a bit warm, but not in the shifter itself….
