“THE TRANSMISSION WILL CHANGE GEAR UNEXPECTEDLY. CAUSE MY CAR TO JERK SHAKE AND UNUSUAL LONG DELAY TO ACCELERATE AT TIMES EVEN REV HIGH WHILE PROLONGED DELAY BEFORE ACCELERATING. THIS HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE SITUATIONS THAT MADE THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE UNPREDICTABLE AND A…”

“BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN MARCH OF 2019. IT IS NOW SPETEMBER AND I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE OIL 5 TIMES JUST TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING. IT GIVES NO INDICATION OF LOW OIL. IF I WASN'T CHECKING THE FLUID LEVELS I MOST CERTAINLY WOULD NOT HAVE FIGURED THIS OUT.”
