Other information:
Your vehicle has a SelectShift Automatic
transmission. The SelectShift Automatic
transmission gives you the ability to change
gears up or down, without a clutch, as
preferred.
To prevent the engine from running at too
low an RPM, which could cause it to stall,
SelectShift still makes some downshifts if it
determines that you have not downshifted
in time...
Preliminary Inspection
Road test the vehicle.
If any suspension alignment or ride height concerns are present, REFER to Symptom Chart: Suspension System.
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test
on a smooth road. If any vibrations are present, REFER to Symptom Chart:
NVH...
