| Description of the problem | Car lunges forward and backwards when putting into gear (drive or reverse). It is extremely noticable to passengers and others. It is dangerous, as you have no control over the lunging motion that could possibly pin someone walking nearby as you are parking the vehicle. It appears this is a common problem that has been reported by many and action needs to be taken by the maker to correct the problem. |
