“I could not take my car out of park the first time I tried because the button wouldn't press down. I pressed the break harder and the break had a weird moving/vibrating feel, but the button eventually pressed down and the vehicle went into drive. I know I got it to drive, but afraid other things might be affected.”
NHTSA complaint #10898622, filed 2016-08, 72,300 miles“Takata recall my son gave me this vehicle and it sent me a warning about engine loss while driving. Sometimes it picks up and sometimes it doesn't. I also noticed it doesn't have a transmission fluid resivoir. Sometimes theirs a gas leak while idle and sometimes they don't.”
NHTSA complaint #11128231, filed 2018-09, 1,800 miles“When I put the car in park, the car would still move. When I put the car in park on a small incline, the car rolled backwards down the incline/hill. The gear shift did not recognize the park gear. It reacted like the car was in neutral. On 10-06-2011, I paid $251.44 to the have the trans shift cable replaced, & that fixed the problem.”
