What owners wrote
I chagned my oil regularly and a rod inside the engine broke. I had no indication on my control panel of any engine problem or oil issues.
I was driving down the road and as soon as I got up to speed past 30 miles per hour it kicked into to gear really hard and I could feel the transmission barely slipping into gear..and had to have the water pump flushed it was over heating thought it was the thermostat but it was checked and fine so I had to replace the water pump...was missing a motor mount on one side and the other was corrodded..
