Consumer Description

REPEATED MANUAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. SHIFT CABLE BINDINGS AND CLIPS/ADJUSTERS BROKE, LEAVING THE CAR UNDRIVABLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN LESS THAN 4.5 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 15K MILES WHEN THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED, AND ABOUT 43K MILES THE SECOND TIME. THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO GET INTO GEAR AT TIMES, EVEN AFTER REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE TO FIX THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE SHIFT CABLES AND ADJUSTERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE IN 4.5 YEARS. *TR
