“2007 G5 auto. Trans was having problems shifting between gears. Rpms jumped around and the engine/ trans rev . It was seen by a dealer, some electronic problem with the trans. Was fixed. It's been 6 months and I'm seeing the problem again. (this car only has 50,000miles on it now.) I see that others are having this problem, it needs attention.”
NHTSA complaint #10366681, filed 2010-11, 40,000 miles“I picked my vehicle up at the dealership today from having the ignition switch recall done on it(took 2months) and I was told that the key still does not come out of the ignition when the car is in park and that I need to purchase and replace the shifter to correct the problem. This is just unacceptable!! This should all be included in the recall!! That is all you hear about on the news is about this recall and the key being stuck in the ignition.”

NHTSA complaint #10225825, filed 2008-04, 36,087 miles“When pep boys first removed the passenger rear engine cradle bolt back in march, the factory nut broke off from being welded to the car body. When a local mechanic recently removed the bolt for related service, he showed it to me. The threads on the middle of the bolt shaft were all seemingly chewed up. The local mechanics best guess was that the air conditioner condenser drains on to that area, which originally weakened the factory welded nut, and causing corrosion on the engine cradle bolt. …”
