Consumer Description

WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC, TRANSMISSION SHUDDERED AND FAILED TO OPERATE CAUSING TRAFFIC TO COME TO A HALT. THIS WAS THE FIRST INCIDENT. SEVERAL TIMES AFTERWARDS, TRANSMISSION WOULD SHUDDER AND VIBRATE WHILE SHIFTING GEARS. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP IN NOVEMBER OF 2012 WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED AND THEY UPDATED THE TRANSMISSION PROGRAM. THIS UPDATE DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON FEBRUARY 22, 2013 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY'RE REPLY WAS, "THIS IS NORMAL". THIS IS NOT NORMAL, THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP. I ONLY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ABOUT 9 MILES TO WORK A DAY AND I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING IT. *TR
