The transmission occasionally jerks when shifting from first to second gear, then it won't shift at all. The only way it fixes is if you pull over, turn the car off and restart. It continues to do this periodically. Now it won't shift at all so I had to get off the highway to drive slow otherwise a burning sell and smoke comes from the engine. Happened to many others if you look online. Obvious flaw with the transmissions. Should be a recall- very expensive for consumer to fix.

With reference to previous email shop called and stated that the balance shaft on the car is bad. Engine light did not come on . Parked car in the garage tried to start next morning car crank but will not start.

Vehicle crank but will not start took to shop diagnostic revealed a bad crank sensor and bad sprocket/ cam shaft.

Reference pe12001 I occasionally smell gas after filling up my vehicle. Until now, I'd just figured I stepped in some fuel at the station and that the smell was coming from my shoes, but understand that there is an issue with the fuel system.
