Example complaints

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

“We have owned the car since sept. 2013. On more than 15 occasions it feels like the transmission does not engage the next gear. When it misses the next gear while driving the rpms shoot way up, nose of the car dips, we decelerate or coast, and occupants get jerked and thrusted forward triggering the seatbelt to harness you in place. This has happened on most of the occasions. At times when I am pulling out of a parking spot in reverse the transmission does not engage. Normally when vehicles are put into gear you can feel the car it, not on these instances. …”
