I was backing out of a parking space at a coffee shop and my car stalled and wouldn't shift gears. Finally was able to get it towed due to a recall on the vehicle and was told it would be a week to get it back. Received a phone call exactly at one week and found but it will be 1 month before the part will come in. That doesn't even include them fixing the actual car. Didn't even offer me a rental. It's been great. Power train · reported at 65,000 miles
