What owners wrote

See first attached pdf diagram for description. The second attachment shows report of the subsequent inspection by a carmax mechanic. The problem appeared to be intermittent and not reproducible at will. I sold this car back to carmax 42 days after its purchase, sustaining a $2260 loss. Most of the loss was due to a second accident that occurred on 6/10/2016 that may also have been brake/transmission problem (see third and fourth attachments).

Reported at 10,750 miles, May 2016 Crash

Car has a little less than 35000 miles. The car has terrible problems engaging any gear. Transmission is wasted. I was going to cambria from orange county. I felt the car a little weird arriving in cambria, but it still ruined. As I was coming to orange county, the car abandoned me in the freeway. I had to take it off the highway and drive through streets to my house. Car is broken.
