The overdrive on my 2017 Tradesman is slow to change gears. When going up a hill, it doesn't start to gear down until going about 5 mph under the set speed. Then when it does gear down, it is going so slows that the RPMs jump to 4500 and it roars into action and by the time you reach the top of the hill, you are at least 5 mph over the set speed and you could find yourself with a speeding ticket.
I took it to the dealer and they said it is operating as designed... so apparently, it is just a **** poor design! When going uphill, it should gear down sooner so the RPM doesn't get up so high, and then when it gets to the set speed it should stop accelerating instead of just keep putting the gas to it.
Everything on my tradesman is slow to react. Stop at a stop sign and when you get ready to go, you press down on the accelerator and nothing happens, so you press a little more the RPM goes way up and you roar away down the road.
Turn on the fan on the heater or AC and nothing happens until a long delay
