Have owned the 13'RDX for about 18 months now. Only have 6500 miles on it as dont get to drive it much. I have noticed that at lower speeds, especially when you are slowing down for a red signal, there is a sudden/abrupt down shift of the gears which make the ride rather jerky. I tried driving it in the manual mode and didnt feel the jerk at all.
This is what I feel is happening in the automatic versus the manual gear shifts I do, in automatic, when you start to slow down, the gear shifts from 3 to 2 to 1 and hence you feel the jerk. But when I am controlling it, it remains in 3 until I get to complete stop, at that point of time, it shifts it directly to 1.
Have anyone else noticed the jerky shifts at lower speeds or its just me. Does it need to be shown to the mechanic or would be improve if I drive the car more often and longer distances.
Thanks,
