What owners wrote
Traction control light came on after starting car which the weather wasn't a factor at all, dry warm day, but the transmission gear did not. Car wouldn't move. Turned car off and restarted, got gear notification back but the transmission wouldn't go in gear. Car has 8,000 miles on it. Finally car moved but wouldn't go past 10 MPH. Onstar states 3 different codes popped up and to take car in within 7 days. Had to have car towed because the car wouldn't go into gear at all.
Manual transmission repeated failures. The transmission has gone out 5 times, been in shop for grand total of 6 months. 3rd and 4th gear synchros have gone out. Cables are popping off and not allowing to shift. Majority of failures have happened at highway speed, posing a dangerous situation where a unpowered vehicle is trying to exit moving traffic.
