“The shift stick/knob is stuck in park. The pink button will not unstuck it. A mechanic helped and the plastic mechanism that will hold the shift to park for safety broke. I now do not have this feature where I need to step on the brake to release the shift. The park shift can now be easily moved which is dangerous.”
NHTSA complaint #10397493, filed 2011-04, 33,000 miles“About a week prior the veh was driving very sluggish and would not resume normal until reaching 50mph, then the next week while driving at about 35mph the veh began shaking very bad forcing me to drop speed to about 15mph. Took it to a mechanic and was told I needed a rear drive shaft and engine mounts and from what I hear this is a common problem with these vehs. Drive shaft is well over $1000.00 not to mention labor, something needs to be done.”
NHTSA complaint #10575114, filed 2014-03, 76,000 miles“Seems rear drive shaft is bad- there is no known recall I can find - but my mechanic says the parts are unavailable or back ordered- so it makes me wonder if no parts are available are all these vehicles having problems!”
