2500 miles into my GLA ownership, I'm starting to experience some transmission issues and wondering if anyone else has had this happen?
Often when I shift into reverse, it seems like it doesn't engage right away so I'll wait a moment, slowly apply throttle (we're talking maybe another 300-500rpm), and then the tranny will violently engage, spilling coffee and snapping everyone's necks in the vehicle. Seems to happen mostly when the car has been fully brought up to temp, parked, and started before it is completely cool again.
At first I thought it was me, but the same thing happened to my wife on Sunday when she was driving. And then this morning, I was trying to parallel park, and when shifting from reverse to drive the same thing happened; didn't appear to engage, so I went to neutral and back to drive again, waited a second or so, applied a small amount of throttle, and then there was a violent shift into 1st that almost put me into the back bumper of the car I was parking behind.
Anyone else experienced an issue similar to this before I bring it in to have it looked at?
