Consumer Description

CAR SHUDDERS, JERKS, AND LURCHES. CONCERNED ABOUT IT EVEN BEING SAFE TO DRIVE. DO NOT HAVE THE CONTROL NEEDED TO DRIVE SAFE AT ALL TIMES. THE DEALER HAS MADE REPAIRS AND ADJUSTMENT TO THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE MORE THAN THREE TIMES. THE DEALER CLAIMS IT IS FIXED EACH TIME AND EACH TIME THE PROBLEM REMAINS. SEEMS LIKE THE NHTSA SHOULD STEP IN BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. AFTER RESEARCHING, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS FAR FROM UNIQUE. PLEASE SOMEONE GET INVOLVED.
