What owners wrote
When I am on a substantial incline, I place the auto into reverse, there is a hard shifting noise and vibration. My girlfriends incline on her driveway is probably around 6% grade. This happens all the time. I also contacted a dealer (ron tonkin) on7/28/2016. I have not heard anything from either entities as of this writing.
Vehicle was in for repair in december 2018 to have a momentary loss of power when accelerator was pressed followed by a load bang and then the car accelerated. The dealer found no codes and looked no further. It happen a few times after but no visits to dealer. In january 2021 while parking there was noise coming from under vehicle and it stopped running. Car was towed and torque converter failed along with transmission. It did not happen at high speed.
