Consumer Description

NOTICING THAT AS I COME TO A STOP AT THE LAST SECOND THE DRIVETRAIN SEEMS TO SNAP OUT OF GEAR CAUSING A VERY LOUD CLUNK AT THIS POINT THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO FREE WHEEL FORWARD UNSAFELY. . THE JOLT YOU GET CAN BE COMPARED TO PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO GEAR AT TOO HIGH OF AN IDOL, WHICH WILL CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR AND TEAR TO YOUR DRIVETRAIN. ALSO, THE ENGINE SEEMS TO SURGE AT IDOL WHILE IN GEAR AND IF YOU AREN'T READY FOR IT AND YOU ARE PARKING BEHIND SOMETHING, YOU RUN THE RISK OF HITTING IT.. I HAVE ADDRESSED THE DRIVETRAIN ISSUE WITH THE DEALER, BUT THEY SAY THEY CAN'T GET THIS TO HAPPEN FOR THEM. VERY INTERESTING CONSIDERING THERE SEEMS TO BE OTHERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES.
