What owners report

  • Transmission clunks and hesitates to shift while driving uphill, sometimes paired with a high-pitched engine noise.
  • Vehicle stalls suddenly at highway speed, then jerks and fails to shift into reverse when restarted.
  • Most dashboard warning lights activate at once, electrical items like the horn stop working, and the engine won't shut off even with the key removed.
  • Rear window shatters without warning while driving on the highway, sending glass into the cabin.
  • Driver's seat belt unbuckles on its own repeatedly during driving.
  • Rear-end vibration develops that an independent mechanic could not diagnose, tied to the fitted tires.
