 Description of the problemOriginal issue began immediately after purchase 3/28/15. Made appt. With dealership for april 15, 2015. I was told the car needed a new clutch. After a complaint to my state attny general, the repair was made in mid may. Car drove ok for a couple of months at which point the transmission issues began again. I took the car to the dealership on 1/4/2016 and was told yet again, it needed a new clutch. I have not heard anything from the dealership since that day. Specifically, upon acceleration the car stutters badly and does not want to catch the gear. During driving, if you take your foot off the gas to turn without touching the brake, transmission does not change gears; it roars and the tachometer needle swings to high rpms before it levels out. When you park the car, turn it off and take your foot off the brake, it sounds like something is banging against something else. If the car is parked on the slightest incline, upon starting, it is difficult to get the car to shift into reverse or drive. Furthermore, during routine driving you can detect unneeded shifting by the transmission. I regret the day i bought this car. Two bad clutches in less than a year. This transmission was junk from the beginning.
