1,When I’m coming to a stop not completely but to like 10-20 mph then try and pick back up to speed the transmission will stutter or jerk only way to avoid it is to slowly press back onto the gas.

in a detailed explanation..

problem with rolling stops and the tranny not downshifting quick enough? It seems that when I come to a stop, either a full stop or a very very slow roll, then hit the gas again (not hard) that it hesitates, like the transmission is still trying to figure out which gear to be in. So I press the gas pedal but nothing happens until it picks a gear, either 1st or 2nd I guess, so it kind of jerks and jolts you forward. It is really annoying and I know it's not great for the tranny.

Went to few different dealer and none of them helping with this non/sense, because there is no trouble code.

Update from Nov 20, 2023: please remove complaint it has been working flawless. one of the dealer fix it

Thank you
