Said to be a faulty water bladder designed to remove leaking water from convt top in the trunk area, caused by two buttons on the convertible top missing. Dealer suggested using a car cover to prevent it from happening again. Problem: the design is flawed and there is no notice that something this dangerous could happen. When the electrical parts…

I was told they were on the phone and laptops with tech's somewhere else in the…

    While the vehicle is being driven, and during gradual acceleration, the vehicle hesitates and begins to shudder when it attempts to shift into the next gear. This shudder occurs at multiple speeds, usually around 31mph, 42mph and 53mph. The shuddering only seems to occur during gradual increases in speed, and is not noticed when accelerating at a more rapid pace, such as when entering onto a highway on-ramp. The…

    At rpm's approximately 1200-2000 car stutters, like it needs to downshift. Happens at various speeds when applying gradual acceleration. Dealer service says no error codes found, that this is "normal" on the 6 speed transmission & that because of all of the computer components, the transmission naturally lags. Seems to be problem in the torque converter? *tr
