In owners' own words
Ticking sound started from the motor and the check engine light came on. We took it to the dealership and was informed the vehicle had bad lifters with a bent push rod needing a full motor replacement. The vehicle has 92k miles and was purchased a year and a half ago from that same dealership. The vehicle is currently at the dealership awaiting costly repairs. Power train
My transmission completely went out at 130,000 miles. We had to buy a whole new transmission. It has had regular maintenance on it. Rpm would skyrocket the car wouldnât move. Then it would finally go but not very fat or will. It also was making a terrible grinding noise Power train
When slowing down and accelerating there is a shutter and a jerk to my transmission. While I am driving the shuttering is sometimes so loud I can hear it over the radio and it is a vibration motion. Power train
