What owners wrote

We purchased the vehicle in sept 2017. About a month after we purchase the brand new van, we started having issue with the transmission slamming in to gear. The first time it happened, we literally thought the person behind us at rear ended up the jolt was that bad. Upon pulling over and inspecting, we discovered we werent. Over the last 23 months, we have had nothing but issues with the transmission. It shifts so at times it makes you dizzy. This takes place between 10-17 MPH.
