Default 2007 Caliber CVT issue - loose power when accelerating.

Hi,

I have a quite weird issue in our Caliber, it's from the beginning when we bought it as a used car.

When accelerating, after I get around 2000RPMs to 2500RPMs, I have a power loos, and after a second, all is fine and the acceleration is smooth and continuous. I didn't change the fluid in it yet, and the car has 70 K Miles.

I think it's the transmission, but maybe it's the engine?

Any help welcome

Thank you

Hubert

We've had very good luck with out Caliber transmissions but always have the dealer service them. Every 50,000 miles or so. Not cheap but we were told from the beginning that not servicing will kill them. Well over 200,000 on both of ours.
