WHEN YOU FIRST START THE CAR IT WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN YOU PUT IT IN ANY GEAR, THEN WHEN IT DID FINALLY MOVE YOU MAY START MOVING AND THEN IT WAS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER, AND HAD IT CHECKED, SAID IT WAS A QUART LOW ON FLUID, CAR WAS SENT BACK HOME WITH ME, A FEW DAYS LATER DID THE SAME THING, TOOK IT BACK AND THE DEALER WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF LOW GEAR, HAD DEALER TOW IT IN, STATED TO ME THE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLER NEEDED REPROGRAMMING, IT WAS REPROGRAMMED AND SENT BACK OUT ON THE ROAD, ABOUT 100 MILES LATER IT WAS A REPEAT, WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF LOW GEAR, HAD THE VEHILCE TOWED IN AGAIN, DEALER REPLACED TRANSMISSION AND CONTROLLER, PICKED THE CAR UP FROM THE DEALER, I FOUND A BRACKET THAT THEY HAD LEFT LOOSE THAT WAS WITHIN A FRACTION OF COMING IN CONTACT WITH THE RACK AND PINION STEERING, RETURNED TO DEALER TO HAVE BRACKET REATTACHED. I HAVE FILED LEMON LAW ON THIS CAR. *AK
