What owners wrote
Vehicle has had multiple problems including: fuel line malfunction, gears shift at will, ignition locked with key in, and brake malfunciton.
Manual transmission fails to shift into 2nd gear, 4th gear, or reverse. (into any of the down shifting positions) there seems to be no pattern to predict when this problem will appear. I've experienced problems on surface streets, freeways, and when just starting the car or mid trip.
