My Ascent Touring is almost 2 weeks old and I love the vehicle. So far, my only complaint is that when I drive around 20mph or lower (through my neighborhood), the Ascent rides like it keeps popping into a lower gear or like I'm manually downshifting the transmission. You can feel a slight hesitation in the forward movement of the vehicle. It's like the transmission is searching for the right gear and when it searches downward it feels a little like the brakes are being slightly applied. I can really feel it when my wife is driving and I'm a passenger. Once I get over 20mph the issue goes away. It's obviously something within the CVT and I'm not sure it can be corrected. Has anyone else noticed a less than smooth shifting at low speeds?
