What owners wrote
My grandson, age 5 was run over by my vehicle while it was parked in my driveway. Although the vehicle was parked, with the gearshift placed in park, and the keys in my pocket, he was able to take the car out of gear. I was in the garage, a few feet away when I heard him crying. I turned around and saw him attempting to get out of the car - the car was rolling backwards - he fell out, and the left front wheel ran completely over his abdomen and hips. He sustained some damage to his liver and abrasions to his back.
Intermittent transmission problems. Seems to occur more when the car is hot. Transmission "slams" when upshifting into any gear.
