Service bulletin fix for AT owners
An answer to those who complained about the automatic transmission holding gears too long on uphills. Just passing this on if someone hasn't already read it elsewhere.

I was at the dealer yesterday and this was one of the things to look at. They said it will probably be mid Sept - Octber time frame before they will have it.

I was in the habit of kicking over into manual 5th gear when this would happen and thought it was just a 'quirk' I would have to live with. Nice to know there's a fix coming.

I had it done at our 15k mile service, or so it said on the work order. I haven't really noticed much difference in the way it shifts.

Mine seems to be holding 2nd and 3rd, even 4th longer than it used to even on flat roads. This could be partly due to the adaptive transmission control but when I start off uphill it seems to get stuck in 2nd or 3rd and I have to let off the gas for a few seconds to get it to upshift even though the road has flattened out or even started going downhill a little.

It doesn't happen all the time but you can sure tell when it does. I'm hoping the software update will fix it.
