I'm new to the boards here but have viewed them in the past. I have a 2012 3.5L FWD with 102K miles on it. Up until now, I've had barely any issues. Last week, while merging onto the highway, I needed to accelerate hard due to traffic. When I went to WOT, the trans tried to downshift and then couldn't find a gear and the engine reved up like it was between gears. Immediately after this it went into limp mode and was runnning rough and shaking. After about a mile or so it cleared limp mode and all seemed fine.
Today I had almost the exact same issue. Seems to happen under hard acceleration or when the trans downshifts more than 2 gears. Seems if you moderately accelerate the issue doesn't happen.
Any idea? I don't have an codes but that is my next step. Wondering if anyone knew of this or what this might be?
Thanks in advance!
