When i am driving my car and it goes into a shift gear it tugs back and forth than it kicks in, in only does it at certain speed than it stops. I want to know if there any recalls on the transmission and if any repairs are being done or have been done. I am afraid that it will just break apart in the middle of the expressway and cause some pileup and my life or others may be in danger. *tr

The car goes out of third gear out of nowhere. I have had three close calls on the freeway due to the fact that as your accelerating the gear stops working and leaves the car in neutral when you should be going forward. This causes the car behind you to brake suddenly or you to loose focus of what's in front of you since you tend to look down to see what the problem is and do not expect you car to be out of gear. *tr

3rd gear failure in transmission. Gear blew out the bottom and top casing of the transmission and destroyed the entire thing. Had to have it completely rebuilt (almost $3000). This was determined to be a mechanical failure. Prior to this, i noticed the 3rd gear was sticking/failing to shift properly and had the transmission checked and flushed. This only appeared to have masked the issue. After driving for about 30…
