They're still under warranty, take them back into the dealer for the transmission issues.

The 25 MPH problem sounds like it might be what is described in this TSB: KT2006060203

This bulletin provides information related to a repair for 2004MY through 2006MY Spectra automatic transaxle equipped vehicles with 2.0L CVVT engines.

Some Spectra automatic transaxle vehicles may exhibit a second to third gear upshift shock after the vehicle is at operating temperature. This condition may also be felt as a slip or flare followed by a shock while shifting from second to third gear.

This bulletin describes the procedure for upgrading the ECU software with new logic to correct the above condition.

Does anyone have access to that TSB KT2006060203 regarding this issue?

I had the same issue but it's kind of disappeared for the time being (I changed my coolant), though I'm afraid it might come back.

I've done an internet search for it but had no luck.

Thanks.
