Aura - Sluggish moving on startup in cold
OK. I don't have to be told so. This car in the cold (40 degrees F) or
lower is sluggish to move the first minute after sitting for hours. I reported this to the dealer last year. He found no error messages and said he reprogramed the transmission. The other day the car also stalled for the first time. Would a stall be recorded? Anyone else have this problem? |

How many miles since you had the ATF fluid and filter changed? Could be that you aren't getting good fluid pressure cold. Also try this on a flat road - get the car moving to about 5mph, put it in neutral and see how far it coasts. Do this again after driving a few miles. This is a gauge of how much drag there is in the drive train, brakes and wheel bearings. A stall might be recorded. What were the circumstances when it stalled? |

I'm New Jersey. That's 40 as in above the freezing mark. That's correct.

It stalled once. It was in the 20's. The dealer knows about the problem.
He experienced it in my car, said he tweaked the software for the trans. This season I brought the issue up again and was told I need to bring it in for an overnight. Maybe the computer will record the problem? This a day one problem to me. I can't fight every day. I'm thinking of another car. A smaller, different brand car.

You might consider a 5-speed as any automatic can (will) have quirks. My
wife's 07 Sky has an automatic transmission that annoys the crap out of me because it up-shifts way too soon. The dealer says they can change the shift schedule, I just haven't taken the time to let them do it. My car has a 5-speed and I don't have these problems.
