“SOMETIMES WHEN I PUT MY VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND START DRIVING MY VEHICLE WILL GO INTO NEUTRAL FORCING ME TO PULL OVER, PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON IN ORDER FOR ME TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT TWICE A MONTH.”
“ENGINE STALLS NO MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M GOING. HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT'S AS IF I JUST TURN THE KEY OFF. WHEN IT STALLS, I STOP AND PUT IT IN PARK, TURN THE KEY OFF AND START IT RIGHT BACK UP AND TAKE OFF. IT'S BECOMING A DANGEROUS SAFETY CONCERN.”
“ANYTIME I GO 50+ MPH ALL I CAN HEAR IS A ROARING NOISE. WE HAVE REPLACED THE WHOLE REAR END ALMOST 3 WEEKS AGO THINKING MAYBE THAT WAS THE PROBLEM TURNS OUT IT NOT. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR ALMOST A YEAR AGO SO WE ARE UNSURE IF ANY RECALLS ON IT HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF.”
“THE TRANSFER CASE HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY AND THE CAR LURCHES AND STUTTERS WHILE DRIVING. THERE WAS A RECALL INVOLVING THE TRANSFER CASE AND THE COMPUTER, BUT THERE HAS NOT BEEN ONE FOR THE TRANSFER CASE ITSELF, WHICH I BELIEVE WAS COMPROMISED FROM DUE TO THE COMPUTER ISSUE BEFORE IT WAS FIXED.”
