NHTSA complaint #10200134, filed 2007-08, 187,000 miles

“Transmission failure is highly reported among owners of this vehicle. So much so that it is becoming a problem to find a qualified specialist for repair. Dealer repair price quotes are a decided gouge considering they admit that it is a widespread problem. Why hasn't this transmission problem been advertised and recalled?”

NHTSA complaint #722997, filed 2000-05

“Transmission for the vehicle had to be replaced in vehicle three times since date of purchase. Transmission had to be replaced at 70,000miles/118,000miles and 151,000miles. Dealer was aware of problem. Please provide further details.”
