| Description of the problem | The vehicle "pops" out of 1st gear constantly. I've seen hundreds of examples posted in forums where this is an issue with many of these models. Its dangerous when trying to start from a standstill with traffic behind you and you can't even use first gear to move out of the way. I've had people almost hit me because of this!!.. Again, this is a well known issue and needs to be addressed... At first i thought maybe it was just me.... But after doing hours of research (hundreds of posts about this exact problem on line) and even having other people drive my vehicle, we all agree something is wrong.. |
