Transmission problems. Vibrates under acceleration and deacceleration. Occasionally won't shift gears up or down, slips or hesitation between shifts. Violet jerks at times. Dealer has done a fluid drain and flush at 20k miles, replaced torque converter at 54k miles. Goes back in again on Monday for the same complaints. I'm respo…

Transmission problems. Vibrates under acceleration and deacceleration. Occasionally won't shift gears up or down, slips or hesitation between shifts. Violet jerks at times. Dealer has done a fluid drain and flush at 20k miles, replaced torque converter at 54k miles. Goes back in again on Monday for the same complaints. I'm responsible for transporting my 5 year old daughter to and from school. Difficult to travel highway speeds when it decides to act up. Research shows many design flaws and thousands of compliments. I fear for my families safety when driving this. I'm told it's safe by dealership??

Fleet vehicles allow shifting from park without seatbelt, intermittently. Another similar year that I drove was easily broken to always allow shifting out of park with no seatbelt where it should have been required. Thank you

The ignition gets stuck when trying to completely shut off the vehicle and won’t release the key or shut off the vehicle. I was stranded in a parking lot with my young daughter, unable to get the key out. In order to shut off the vehicle and remove the key I had to remove connection from the vehicle battery. The closest dealership is an hour away from where I live and this is our only vehicle so I would not be able to come home until the problem is fixed. No warning or malfunction indicators.
