“Gears started shifting on their own, and at times did not shift at all...thank god I was already arriving home when it suddenly jumped into park, bringing the car to a screeching halt, at this point I was already slowing down to get into the driveway. This happened after I had a 1hrs drive on a highway, it would have been a huge accident if this would have happened while on the road. Since this happened, I did my research online and found out this is a very common problem with this vehicle. The bad part is the transmission range sensor. …”

I've noticed a shortness in my radio, according breaks and pressure for the car over heating when stopping. Had my radiator and fans replaced. But still having issues with car over heating. And AC and heat not working when turned on. If close the door or go over a bump in road will work. Just like my radio. I only had this car since last feb and its becoming worrisome. Brake lights sometimes doesn't work has a shortness also. And low head beam on driver side keep going out... Have to drive on high beam all the time at night”
