Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“This doesn't happen every time I drive the car. As I'm slowing up to turn, or coming up on a stop sign or red light, the car tends to start stalling. If I put the car in neutral before stepping on the breaks, it doesn't do it. But if I don't put the car in neutral it will stall & the RPM will drop to 0 & the car will cut off.”

“The automatic transmission has always shifted hard and now the transmission is having a hard time shifting into the next gear, it revs up and I have to take my foot off of the gas in order for it to shift. This seems to only happen in the lower gears. Once I'm above 30 its fine. The code that just came on is low transmission fluid pressure.”

“When my car goes between 60 and 70 MPH the car shakes and the rpms jump to about 4 to keep the car at the speed I need it on high ways. My mechanic said it was a known issue for this car and year. But he could not find a recall. He said that the transmission would need reset by a dealer. Which is not cheap.”

“I started having problems with the transmission.thursday 9th feb I was going to work my speed was around 65-70 MPH. I slowed down to let on coming traffic and my transmission just jumped hard. It has sometimes clunked when going around 45 MPH but not that hard. It scared me I thought my transmission was falling out. I bought it 2 months ago and had no other problems until just now.”

“This is the third time the engine completely shut off in the middle of driving. First time it started back up after 5 minutes. Second time started back up after being jumped eventhough the battery had charge. This last time the car would not start. It has the power it was turning over but the engine would not start. Power steering turned off in both occasions. I had to have me vehicle towed and it still will not start. I was driving approximately 60 MPH on a paved highway route 244, it turned off on a straight away, no hills or turns.”
