“The transmission is slipping and it trying to accelerate when I put it in drive I have to put the gas puddle to the floor and vibration on the seat it's a cvts transmission it was the pully that was fixed on the last recall I'm driving a loaner car is there any recall on the slipping or cvts in general thanks”
NHTSA complaint #11283109, filed 2019-12, 79,695 miles“I was driving and it felt like a tugging on the passenger front wheel. When I would turn the tugging was worse. Then I turned around to go home and the car wouldn't move at all. All the gears were gone. The gear will go in the gear every gear but it wont go forward or backward. I don't think it's the transmission but it's possible the passenger axle or something in there or I could be wrong and it's the tranny.”
NHTSA complaint #11323945, filed 2020-05, 15 miles“While I was driving down a busy interstate with numerous cars around me, my car gave a small jerk. After this, my car motor was still running, but had no power. When I pressed the gas, no power behind it. I was coasting and slowing down. After almost getting run over by the vehicle behind me, I was able to coast to the side of the road. There are multiple similar complaints with the transmission for this year model.”
NHTSA complaint #11364379, filed 2020-10, 150,000 miles“As my husband was turning a corner, the clutch dropped, and the service center reported that the clutch fibers are torn up. Cost of repair = $1700. We have been lifelong manual transmission drivers. We do not misuse vehicles, and the clutch going out so soon for us in particular is indicative of a manufacturing problem rather than operator error.”
NHTSA complaint #10679928, filed 2015-01, 24,000 miles“This has happened countless times since the day I purchased my car and drove it off the lot. It doesn't matter how fast or slow I am driving, when I take my foot off of the gas pedal, my whole car jars forward like it is my transmission and it missed a gear. It has done this since I drove it home from purchasing it. It makes me nervous because my son is in the back seat and he can tell every time it happens because his head jolts forward.”
