Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The vehicle stutters or hesitates briefly while in motion. It only occurs 3 to 4 times a month at most. However, we have complained about this to the dealership several times (a few of those times while the vehicle was under warranty) and they have found nothing. Now, at 80,000 miles, the dealership is saying that it probably needs a new transmission.”
