What owners wrote
During vehicle operation on an incline or hill, the vehicle tends to downshift from (d) to (3rd), causing the car to accelerate suddenly.
The oil cooler lines leaked oil onto the engine which caused it to smoke. The oil cooler lines have been replaced three times within the last 30,000 miles. There was noise in the front end due to a worn right front outer tie rod and when damp or cold out, a hard shift would be present when making turns. *scc
