Why take a hit on an issue they are obligated to fix? Don't act like Mr. Badass to us. Save it for the dealer. New cars have issues. It happens. Next time don't buy a first run if you can't handle it without giving yourself an ulcer.

I have yet to encounter the skip shift feature in all different types of driving. I'm not sure what the big deal is. You might want to have yours looked at if it's giving you that much trouble. I love the new transmission. Calling it "junk" is a bit excessive. Everyone with the new six speed (myself included) seem to love it.

To be polite,
Why should I even NEED to spend more than what I already have just to make a brand new car driveable.
This car is undriveable.Period.
I have been banging gears for over 30 years and have never had trouble driving anything with a stick.
Oh and learn to read.
Traction control OFF.
Will not shift into second from first at all no mater what the revs are.
There is no crap shift with traction control OFF.
The car will not down shift properly. It blocks ANY gear it happens to choose when ever it so chooses.
Does anyone think that I would take a MASSIVE financial hit for a car with 600 miles on it that is junk, just for fun.
I wrote a 35k check for this thing and it sucks.
The dealer has been put on notice.
"You get ONE chance to make it right"
I do not "Want" this car to be junk.I want to enjoy it.
I waited three months for it to show up.
I took a week off from work so that I could just go and have fun with it.
Everything about the car with the exception of the trans is great.
The ride is great.
It handles very well.
The stereo sounds fantastic.
It just sucks to drive it.

I still don't get that stupid skip shift thingy. It goes off on me all the time when I'm in first and I exceed 2500 RPM.
I always ignore it as if it never lit up. I does absolutely nothing for me; it is absolutely useless in assisting me to drive.
For all I care, if I could opt for a Skip Shift delete and got back a hundred or so dollars off the sale price, I would have applied the savings to some dealer cosmetic body options instead.

I know that bastard is going off, but I don't even notice it anymore.
Funny, I notice that I exceed the rated city avg MPG driving: I get a tad more than 17 avg MPG in city. The skip shift is just useless. And of course, when I flash in a tune over the stock tune, skip shift is as useless as ***** on a bull.
Apparently not, well, that is my assumption since he has not posted back for over 4 months now. A lack of an update to me means no resolution. But that is only my assumption, he eventually might have got his car fixed.

lol ok....and? Whats that have to do with anyone here?
Also I have a funny question for ya...If you can't get it into 2nd...you didn't notice this leaving the dealership?? c'mon man... Sounds like pure bs to me.
I have another funny question...Ever heard of a warranty? If there was indeed something wrong with your tranny, it's covered and will be fixed anyways so whats all this "make it right" stuff? Bring it to the dealer the same way you got it home (however you did that...I'll assume 1st-4th? *coughskipshiftcough*) and let them fix or replace it. Personally I doubt seriously that anything is wrong with it. Do you even know how to turn advancetrac completely off? Because your skip shift is still on if it won't go into 2nd and you must be trying to shift at like 2400-2500 rpms or lower to even have it kick on.
I don't understand what the problem is other than already stated, learn to drive the car you bought including it's features... Oh I've been waiting to use this one for awhile now lol...
If you really don't want it, sell it.

It saves fuel on the EPA schedule, no one really said it has real world benefits. Spend $10 and get rid of it.
