I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 20,000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR HAS HAD FAILURES OF THE TRANSAXLE SHIFTED DOWN INTO LIMP MODE OR SECOND GEAR AND STAYING THERE. I FEEL THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED SHIFTING OF THIS TRANSAXLE AND SHOULD BE RE-CALLED. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSAXLE COMPLETELY REBUILT, THE COMPUTER AND SENSORS REPLACED AND TWO DIFFERENT TIMES THE DEALER REPORTED HE FIXED A CONNECTOR PROBLEM. AS AN ENGINEER FOR A SEMICONDUCTOR CONMPANY, I FEEL THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS ARE GOING INTO A THERMAL SHUTDOWN. ALL THE FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE HOT TEXAS HEAT. THE LAST DEALERSHIP I HAD REPAIR THE TRANSAXLE ASSURED ME THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS WITH THESE TRANS AXLES. HE LIED.
