Description of the problem | This car repeatedly thrusts forward at lower gears whilst in traffic and while in motion. It has been repaired twice within a 6-month time-frame for the faulty dps6 transmission. The capless gas tank is also presenting a constant issue, involving a leak of some sort that continues to reoccur. I have been in numerous situations that could have proven to be fatal as a result of the transmission responding too late: as well as thrusting at lower speeds when coming out of a stop or traffic back-up. This issues happen while in motion, or when making an attempt to go into motion. |
