| Description of the problem | Original owner of vehicle since 2012. In last two years, transmission replaced twice. No clear answers from manufacturer as 100k mile warranty nears end. This time dealership held vehicle 2 weeks before commencing repair. Speaking to other owners, same problem within 3 years of ownership. When in motion transmission will fail and car will not shift into gear causing breakdown in roadway. The first time, got stranded on highway, able to glide to the shoulder. Second time, noticed system slipping during shifts and took directly back to dealership. |
