Typical transmission symptoms owners report

- The transmission hesitates or refuses to shift out of third gear, limiting speed to between 30 and 40 mph and preventing normal highway driving.
- Owners report vibration and a thrumming noise felt through the steering wheel at highway speeds, sometimes traced to the drive shaft or rear differential.
- The shifter or transmission unexpectedly slips out of gear or the vehicle reverses on its own while in drive.
- Some drivers describe a low-speed stall where the gas pedal fails to engage the vehicle from a stop or during a slow turn.
- The AWD system reportedly disengages in cold temperatures, reverting the vehicle to front-wheel drive on snow-packed roads.
