THERE IS A RANDOM FEELING DURING ACCELERATION AND STAND-STILL OF WHICH FEELS LIKE A DOWN-SHIFTING BENEATH THE SUV. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT BY SEVERAL DIFFERENT DEALERS AND THEY ALL JUST GIVE ME THE 'RUN-AROUND'. I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING WORKNG AND NO ONE WANTS TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT MIGHT PROVE COSTLY.*AK
