What owners wrote
Constant problem with transmission. Had to be replaced with low original miles on it. Rear bearing failed. 4 times on rear pass side, 1 time on rear driver side. All fail at low miles on car. Under 60k, all highway miles
Transmission failed with 64000 mi. Trans shop "rebuilt" it and added a trans cooler for 2200$ as soon as I fist drove it I noticed the car "binding up" during turns at slow speed. Shop owner said he couldn't replicate or feel anything wrong, with me in the car and it was clearly binding during slow turns, he refused to acknowledge any problem. Also there is a noise, like a bolt inside the torque converter that I hear when I am off the throttle. Also have replaced both rear wheel bearings.
