This happened to me also. Within a week of my buying the car from the
dealer, (in fact, on the ride home!!), I noticed the auto tranny hesitating
when shifting into second gear. I brought it back, and instead of just
trying to find out what the problem was, they had my car for a week, and put
in a new tranny (at the tune of $$$5k!!). It was covered under warranty. The
car had 49k miles on it at the time (i.e. I bought it used, off a 3-yr.
lease... one prior owner...).

Phew... thank goodness it was a warranty item!!

Take care.
