Description of the problem | I purchased this vehicle used on 02/04/2016, and drove it off the lot the following day. I noticed almost immediately a defect in the transmission. During deceleration preceding a full stop, the transmission causes the vehicle to buck forward unexpectedly and substantially, which could cause potential injury or damage to any person or object that may appear in front of the vehicle at a moment when the vehicle has not yet come to a complete stop, but has slowed to a point where the vehicle appears to make no further forward momentum. This, along with the constant annoyance of anticipating and experiencing an uncontrolled forward moving thrust, compels me to file this report. Please note that i returned this vehicle following my complaint. The transmission was subsequently replaced which did not resolve the issue, but in fact continues to worsen with continued use. |
