What owners wrote
Transmjtions feels slugish one day normal next revs up at times more than normal makeing vehilce speed up when needing to slow down . Suspension often warps out of place makeing the drive harsh on motar and falls back on place. Steeding collum falls out of place to odften have to bend the wheel to get back alignment
While driving to a traffic light before coming to a complete stop my car seemed to rev up after the shifting down then engine gets high when releasing brake and going about 15 MPH before coming to the next traffic light then the check engine light appears and is steady as I'm driving to work there is a "hard shift" while going about 15-20 MPH in city driving..
