What owners wrote
Consumer was traveling about 35MPH on a side street and vehicle started shaking. Then, vehicle went out of control, and he hit a light pole ,and bounced off the pole. Upon impact, airbags didn't go off. Dealership was aware of problem.
First the transmission went out and I had to have it rebuilt...then, I had to replace a ball joint...now the other one has to be replaced. The mechanic says it is too dangerous to drive. These repairs are not cheap and premature! Prior to having the transmission rebuilt I had it put on the machine and it sent out several different codes that had to be corrected...nevertheless, we still had to replace the transmission...also, the four wheel drive gets stuck periodically.
