Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Leaving the town of lakeside, or made left turn onto the 101 hwy with traffic not visible due to a curve both ways, accelerated to get up to freeway speed for safety. Found the vehicle would not shift out of third gear. Drove 4-5 miles before I could turn off the freeway. I parked headed downhill, turned off the engine and opened the hood. I then went into the store to use phone; had no luck finding service. I felt I might be able to go back to my destination in third gear so gave it a try. …”
