What owners wrote
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle rubbed against a curb and the axle and the steering wheel column fractured while traveling 3 MPH. The contact expressed the vehicle was too low to the ground. The contact stated if the vehicle was higher to the ground, the steering and wheel axle would not have fractured.
Transmission is failing it is flaring. RPM rises to 6-7k RPM and it still around 20-30 MPH. And it slowing increasing speed. This is dangerous, when I am trying to merge in traffic I don't have the acceleration I merge on highway or just getting on a street.
