Hello,
I have a 2003 V6 EX Coupe with 36,600 miles and the transmission occasionaly slips when trying to shift from 1st to 2nd gear. I have only owned the car for a month and it has happened to me three times already. The problem seems to occur within a minute of driving the car from warm start, where the RPM would rise when I apply gas and the car wouldn't go forward. When this happens I would shift the transmission into neutral and back to D a couple of times. The first two times I tried it the car
will engage and drive forward, but the last time it happened the car struggled to go forward for like 5 seconds before engaging.
Has anyone else experienced this same problem? I found that there is a recall for this year's transmission and they have already performed the recall service. I haven't been able to duplicate the problem, it just happens randomly. What should I do besides bringing the car to the dealer for service?
thanks!
