Lexus LS 2007+ :: Slight Shutter Or Jerk - Downshift Rough When Slowing

Had a slight shutter or jerking feeling in their LS, sort of like the rotors are warped, when they slow to a stop from 40+ MPH? I just cannot make the car stop smoothly no matter the amount of brake pressure I apply.

I can 100% eliminated the issue if I shift the car into neutral before I slow down. So it has to be the the transmission not downshifting smoothly. Done it from day one. I even replaced my rotors and brakes so I know that isn't it.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Automatic Rough Downshift Into 1st Gear

My 09 Sonata GLS has 50k miles on it. I bought it as a demo model with 9k on it (regret that) as new ... who knows how it was treated.

at 40k miles I noticed that in the morning when I was braking the car would feel like it was slipping out of gear momentarily and it was pretty rough. After a few minutes it would stop and I could continue on my way. The car is an automatic. I noticed it if I let the car decelerate enough that it dropped into first on its own, or if I used the brakes. I figured it must be due to the cold weather or something and was hoping it would clear up. This was only happening after 8 hours of non-use, overnight in the cold.

Honda - Accord :: 1998 - Rough Downshift Into First Gear When Come To A Complete Stop

I recently bought a 1998 Honda Accord with 124,000 miles. The car had one owner for 14 years. The carfax indicates the owner maintained service on the vehicle, but didn't go into detail about the work that was done. (only that the started had be replaced) When I come to a complete stop the car downshifts rough into first gear. It almost feels like it slightly jumps forward. Is this a problem I need to address and if so what is the problem? I bought it from a trusted dealership who had their mechanics give it a check and said nothing was wrong with it.

Ford Ranger / B-Series :: Transmission Adjustment / Rough Downshift Into 2nd Gear About 15 Or 16 Mph

My 93' Ranger XLT extra cab 2wd, 4.0 engine and A4LD auto tranny with 126,600 miles has a rough downshift into 2nd gear about 15 or 16 mph. Down shift to 1st is real smooth and upshifting thru the gears is smooth. I just put a new modulator valve on it and upshifts smooth out, they were getting to be hard shifts before changing that valve. I do not know if there is any adjustment that can be made to smooth out the rough downshift when slowing down to a stop for red light. The U-joins are in good shape and new carrier bearing assembly on driveshaft and no extra play in the rear end. A band adjustment maybe or just have to live with it.

Azera HG (2011-16) :: Rough Idle / Vibration When In Park Or Stopped At Lights

Rough idle whenever you are not in motion. It is very obvious, and a little frustrating as my previous 5 cars never had this issue. I love the car, but the vibration is driving me a little crazy. When the car is in park, and you lean on the outside of the car it is also vibrating heavily. I hate to have them start taking things apart when there is less then a 1000 miles on the clock.

Chevrolet - Traverse :: Sudden Downshift While Slowing Down

I have had a few times when my 2013 Chevy Traverse LT suddenly jumped to a low gear while quickly slowing down, causing the RPMs to jump up to 4-5000 RPMs. It remains in that gear until I am practically stopped. Is this normal?

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Throttle / Downshift Delay When Trying To Speed Up After Slowing Down

For the most part, I'm pretty happy with my 2010 Santa Fe SE (V6 AWD Automatic).

When I'm coming up to a yield sign, or otherwise slowing down to say 5-10 miles an hour but not a complete stop, and then when I start to try to go again, there is a hesitation and then the vehicle kind of jerks as it starts. It's like it takes a half second to a second for the throttle to respond, and by then it revs higher than I expect. I don't know if it's the throttle delay or a delay downshifting before it starts, or a combination of the two.

I've also noticed that a half second or so delay when just sitting in park and quickly pressing the throttle and releasing. I can press the pedal to about 50% and release it before the RPMs respond at all. Then it'll rev up and back down as you'd expect, just not WHEN you'd expect.

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Premature Downshift Into First When Slowing Down - Trans DTC P1740

I have a code P1740 that sets after a couple of drive cycles. This is preceeded by a flashing "Overdrive Off" light, until the MIL eventually comes on.

The only driveability symptom seems to be a premature downshift into first when slowing down. When cruising at highway speeds, I can turn OD on or off using the switch on the end of the shift lever and all appears OK.

Could it be the OD solenoid, and if so is this something I could change myself?

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: 2nd To 3rd Rough Gear Shift

I bought my 2011 sonata gls last year and it has always had a bit of an issue when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. The best way to describe it would be if someone where dumping the clutch and you get that sudden, hard acceleration with a bit of rev flare and then back down the lower revs. It doesn't do it every time it shifts, but enough that it is very annoying. I've had it in the dealership twice for this issue but I get the same "We can replicate the issue" song and dance. They tell me there is no code, and no history of any code. I had the trans position sensor replaced under warranty late last year.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: 2011 - Rough When Dropped Into Gear / Up Shift And Downshifts Equally Hard

Drove to work today and all was fine. Came out at 3 and started my Elantra up, dropped it into gear and it was ROUGH. Engine ran for a few seconds before I put it in gear. The shifts up the street were hard and the downshifts were equally hard. I put the transmission in manual--same thing. After a few minutes, the shifts returned to normal. No CEL. The car has 48,700 miles on it.

Passat (B6) :: Clunk / Rough Downshift From 4th To 3rd

My 3.6 4motion has a rough downshift, 4th to 3rd. I can feel the clunk. The service department (which has been otherwise great, at Gurley Leep in South Bend, IN) says it's "within specs." And no TSB. I know we've discussed the TSB for the rough downshift on the 2.0T. Anything on the 3.6 4motion?

Phaeton :: Low RPM Cruising / Rough Downshift

My V8 NAR Phaeton started with a problem today which is exhibited at low RPM cruising. It is as if an invisible person is tapping the accelerator rhythmically. For example, when going 30MPH with my foot steady on the accelerator, the car will fluctuate between 1300rpm and 1600 rpm, and if I happen to brake during one of these surges I will experience a rough downshift. A complete VAG Com scan revealed nothing code-wise. the car seems to shift fine when accelerating, and according to the center display there are no gear shifts occurring when these RPM fluctuations occur. If I manually select a gear and cruise at a higher RPM, these fluctuations do not occur.

If my description is not clear, I could possibly post a video. I don't have much luck with the search function on this forum, just want to make sure this isn't a well known issue before I trouble with video.

The car is 2004, 113K miles. It has the original batteries which will be replaced in 2 weeks time, but I have not been having any electrical problems.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Rough Downshift While Coming To A Stop From About 20 Mph

My 2009 Sonata (4 Cyl.) has begun to downshift very rough while coming to a stop from about 20 mph. At first I thought it was the brakes, but now I'm convinced it's the transmission. Essentially it "jerks" a couple of times before stopping. It started happening at 30,000+ and only happens when transmission is still cold. Once I've driven for a bit it doesn't happen.

So i just noticed this issue the other day. If I downshift from 6th to 5th the car hesitates before it starts to accelerate, this only happens for 5th every other gear is fine. This only happens downshifting from 6th to 5th. What is going on?

Phaeton :: Hard To Downshift From 3rd To 2nd Gear

I really do love the Phaeon and experienced a hard downshift from 3 to 2 when slowing at certain speeds. The trans is very smooth on the way up but if a let it coast down to zero while applying light brake pressure I get a hard shift from 3 to 2. It is currently at the dealer for service and they have checked everything and state I should just watch for it. They checked all the TSB's, fluids, etc. I wouldn't mind if I knew this was normal for the Phaeton.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Transmission Clunk When Downshift

2011 Sonata Limited ... I have just under 60k miles and did a tranny drain and refill at 24k and 55k. Just had the brake light switch replaced. For some reason when cruising with the car in overdrive, if I let off the gas to decelerate and ease into the gas again, I get a real hard down shift and shift. So every time I get on the gas again it is either kicking out of overdrive or downshifting and shifting back immediately. 99% of the time it is a hard thump. When I have the cruise set I do not notice this at all. It does it in ECO or out of ECO. This is new and I started noticing this after the brake switch replacement.
