Transmission "shifts" erratically. I say "shift" because it doesn't really have gears. In any case it sometimes "slips" while underpower in a way that feel like shuddering. It also seems to go into too high a "gear" at low speed/throttle.
Car went into limp mode. Transmission problem diagnosed, was eligible for warranty repair. Transfer case rebuild due to leak
