Consumer Description
SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE BEEN SITTING AT STOP LIGHTS AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN AND I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR NOTHING HAPPENS, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRANSMISSION WILL GRAB AND I HAVE ACTUALLY MADE THE TIRES SQUEAL AND ALMOST ATE THE BACK OF SOMEONE'S CAR. ANOTHER THING I HAVE NOTICED IS THAT WHEN PARKING ON AN INCLINE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND LET OFF OF THE BRAKE AND A HORRIBLE NOISE COMES FROM THE TRANSMISSION AREA - THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT I SHOULD SET MY PARKING BRAKE FIRST BEFORE TURNING THE CAR OFF??? TODAY THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP FOR THE 6TH TIME AND IT IS LESS THAN 8 MONTHS OLD. *TR
