Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“At low speed, 20 to 40 MPH, the transmission jerks so much that the headrest hits my head badly. It is almost like the vehicle is rear-ended by another vehicle. My head is still dizzy after a day. This jerking frequency is about twice in the past 4 weeks.”
