Automatic gear shift lever does not perform as stated in the manual, the thumb button does not need to be pressed to change gears, the gear moved from drive to neutral with just a brushing movement forward while driving. Mjs
Well I had the worst experience ever in my life since I bought this car. I had this car repaired so many time I cant start to name off dates. I do know less than 6 months after I bought this car I drove to the beach less than 30 minutes always and it cut off. It started back up, but cut off 4 time before I got home. Next day I had to take it to the dealer to repair it. Since I had this car it has been nothing but a burden.
