After starting the vehicle, the gear would not move out of park. On another occasion while driving, the vehicle had gone into reverse by itself and the engine shut down completely. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for transmission repair. There was a severe vibration in the steering wheel upon getting the vehicle back from the dealer.
While driving the vehicle hesitated to accelerate and didn't change gears. The vehicle accelerated into full throttle. (two accidents had occurred due to these failures) ts the front end alignment had pulled to the left, the check engine light and the transmission had become inoperative. Scc.
I got in a accident when my brakes went out that night and I couldn't stop. When my car was in the shop they told my that the brakes went out and I need the have the brake line checked out. I took my car back to the dealer and they told me that the kind of brakes they are the would squeak. They never took the time to really look at the brakes because that same day I had my brakes replaced. I have had transmission problems and alternator problems and a lot more.
