Consumer Description

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE VEHICLE TREMBLED AND GEARS WOULD NOT CHANGE WHEN THE SPEED REACHED 40 MPH. THERE WAS ALSO AN ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL THAT ACCOMPANIED THE SHAKING. ONCE THE VEHICLE REACHED 75 MPH, THE SHAKING STOPPED. HOWEVER, WHEN THE SPEED WAS LOWERED, THE SHAKING BEGAN AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP, WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT BOTH REAR DOORS WILL NOT OPEN CORRECTLY. ALTHOUGH THE CHILD LOCKS HAVE BEEN DEACTIVATED, THE DOORS STILL WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DOORS WERE NOT INSPECTED BY A MECHANIC.
