In owners' own words
Transmission wasn't shifting into 1st and 2nd gears. Engine would race up to 4,000rpms. Vehicle couldn't be driven on highway. Dealer found a foreign object clogging 2nd clutch.*Ak consumer also states brakes have been repaired 3 times and they are still squeaking to this date ,the stereo and cd player were defective and had to be replaced, which the cd player is still not working. Power train
Consumer took vehicle to have tires rotated. When vehicle was up on lift, consumer was informed that rear axle was leaking an oil substance. Dealership replaced seals to correct this defect. Please provide any additional information/attachments. Power train
Clutch seems to slip quicker than normal. Only about 6500 miles on the vehicle and the clutch begins to slip. I have gotten the new slave cylinder, but it still happends. Only happends when the clutch gets hot on my vehicle. Power train
