Hello guys,
I've been lurking in this forum to see if anyone have the same problem but wasn't able to so I figure I could post it.
I recently purchased an 2017 Mazda 3 2.5 Automatic Transmission brand new and so far I've driven about 1.5k miles on it. Recently, I've noticed that the auto gears have been shifting pretty rough, especially in 4th to 5th gear. The RPM tend to hover around 2k RPM before shifting going straight down to 1k RPM, especially 5th gear where it goes up to 2.5k RPM down to roughly 900-1000 RPM causing the entire car to jerk pretty rough. Is that normal? I've notice people say that the auto trans is smooth as butter. Is this what they call smooth? Is there a break-in period for the auto transmission to learn your driving style?
I took it to the dealership twice and they said it was normal and checked the transmission CPU and it appears everything is shifting normal at the regular RPM, they advised they didn't feel the hard shift. But my wife disagree because she felt it and she doesn't think it is normal as well.
The shifting is annoying because it pulls my entire body forward and backward like if the car is jerky under acceleration.
Any help would be appreciated.
