Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Under normal driving conditions, vehicle lost all power and engine raced wildly when accelerator was pressed. This condition continued until vehicle slowed to around 20 MPH when power was regained until speed reached 40 MPH when failure occurred again. Traffic was backed up behind me with angry motorists passing in dangerous areas because of my limited speed. Fault was traced to the end clutch assembly inside the transmission that prevented transmission from shifting into 4th gear. I don't have the old parts.”

NHTSA complaint #10127794, filed 2005-07, 141,950 miles“My tranmisson is leaking and grinding. Since mits. Don't make any part for the tranmssion, I was asked to buy a brand new tranmisson. Also my transfer case is making this strange noise and people told me their transfer case locked up on them while the car was driving.”
NHTSA complaint #757504, filed 2002-01“In the nearly year I've owned my car I've had four problems with my tranny. At the time I purchased the vehicle, I could not afford the $3000+ the dealership was asking for an extended warranty and no other extended warranty company that I've contacted offers extended warranties on twin turbo cars. So all of this, roughly $8000 in the past year, has come from my pocket, which I'm still paying. In the original transmission with the car, the seals were leaking roughly 2 months after I bought the car. …”
NHTSA complaint #759018, filed 2002-03“Dealership replaced 5th gear under warranty and now 3rd gear synchros are going out. Also front disc brakes get warped every 6 months or so of driving, have to replace/resurface rotors before brake pads need replacing every time. Have replaced rotors 4 times in 3 years.”
