What owners wrote

During slow acceleration from full stop, the vehicle would vibrate/shudder for a couple or seconds somewhere between 15-25 MPH. It feels like the transmission would slip and catch and slip and catch. This happens 3-5 times a day. I drive mostly city driving so its mostly stop and go driving from one light to the next. There has been a recall to reprogram the transmission computer but my vehicle is not part of that recall and exhibits the same issues.
