What owners wrote
When the car in gear on a hill, it will roll down the hill and increase in speed. The car rolls so fast that you cannot safely make the transition from brake to accelerator without rolling severely, the manufacturer stated that this falls within specs, the 4 wheel drive service light is illuminated.
Driving within the city I heard a clack noise and a loud noise came from the transmission, after that I couldn't use the reverse, and first gear was longer than usual, this vehicle only has 42,000 miles. I have spoken with mechanics and friends and this is a manufacturer failure with this type of vehicle, my mechanic.
