any ascent owners have a stuttering problem as your driving along? Up hill ,down hill cruise control on or off doesn't matter. Feels like a"miss" in the engine or some think it might be the CVT transmission ?
It is not just your Ascent; they all do it. It shouldn't happen, but it does. It's a harsh upshift from 6->7 and 7->8. Some people on this forum are more sensitive to it than others. From my experience, I could easily duplicate the issue by switching to manual at highway speeds and upshifting. It will also do something similar when the transmission is cold at low speeds (20-25MPH), though for a different reason I suspect since it's not going to be in "gear" 6 or 7 at that speed. However, I don't think it's related to the issue that Snowgirl and others are having where their CVT belt is slipping.We have had our ascent since 21Dec18, not any real long trips yet, 350 miles a couple of times but have just drove down to the coast and yes I could feel a stutter, bump, or surge.. something but is not in the engine, it is 150 miles oneway to the coast and probably felt it 3-4 times driving around 70-75 mph.. I felt it a few weeks ago on one of our trips but attributed it to breaking in as I am seeing the mileage go up. However yesterday evening while driving to go and eat, 45-55 mph felt the bump 4-5 times in a 15 mile period.. I do not know if this is what the folks with the transmission issues are feeling prior to them having their failures, hopefuly SOA will find the answer, really like the vehicle.
Also, in the 1,500-2,000 rpm range, when the car changes gears, one can feel the shift. Some have also described that as a "stutter".It is not just your Ascent; they all do it.

Forgive me, I said "CVT belt" and should have said "CVT chain".Also, in the 1,500-2,000 rpm range, when the car changes gears, one can feel the shift. Some have also described that as a "stutter".
It is indeed normal.
I didn't even notice... perhaps I need more coffee, lol! :grin:Forgive me, I said "CVT belt" and should have said "CVT chain".
Do you have a build date for your vehicle? I am asking because there is a thread about major transmission issue.any ascent owners have a stuttering problem as your driving along? Up hill ,down hill cruise control on or off doesn't matter. Feels like a"miss" in the engine or some think it might be the CVT transmission ?
It's a downshift and normal. We've covered this in another thread, including with video.Do you have a build date for your vehicle?
