What owners wrote
I'll turn the car on and put it into reverse but the gear does not engage. The reverse light on the display panel just continues to blink. Another issue involving the transmission occurs when trying to accelerate. When applying pressure to the gas pedal, the clutch fails to engage causing it to slip when shifting gears. Also when trying to accelerate to pass another vehicle the car will not accelerate, the rpms just shoot through the roof further proving of clutch slippage.
I started my car the awc selection light started flashing. As I drove it stopped flashing. Then the awc service required light came on I brought it to the dealer they turned the light off said it was a ECU update. As it got warm out it came on periodically but would turn off. Every time I brought it to the dealer they couldn't duplicate the problem. Now the light has come on and stayed on. The codes are for pump failure.
