What owners wrote
Automatic transmission failure: in overdrive at about 55MPH, sudden bang. Car started bucking with more noises. Pulled over. Overdrive no longer working, as well as failure with 1st, 2nd, and reverse. Nursed it home in 3rd. Car almost impossible to push even in neutral. Had it towed to dealer. Probable transmission replacement upcoming. Only 31,000 miles on car.
On a cold start the car will not go into gear until it warms up. Happens everytime as long as the car has sat for a few hours.
