| Description of the problem | This car is an accident waiting to happen! The transmission (i-4 specifically for me) buckles and lunges in gears 1-3. It gets stuck in gear, it goes into 2 gears at the same time. It has gotten stuck on the acceleration. I am terrified to drive this car in traffic, or anywhere i need to go slowly since it does not always respond when i brake or give it gas. I wouldn't put my worst enemy in this car! The transmission problems started on say 1 with 100 miles on the car, and have kept going for the past 2. 5 years. I have had a transmission replacement and that did not help. |
