Some Chevrolet Impala owners report experiencing transmission jerking and hesitation, particularly when starting from a stop. This issue may be linked to sensor problems, such as a defective throttle position sensor or a faulty Pressure Control Solenoid, which can result in harsh shifts and engine jerking. Additionally, some owners have noted that a defective switch solenoid within the transmission itself could be a contributing factor. It's important to recognize that these sensor-related issues can exacerbate transmission hesitation, especially in stop-and-go traffic. For those experiencing these symptoms, it is advisable to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose the problem and recommend necessary repairs.
