This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
When accelerating from a stop the transmission reacts as if in neutral. After a few seconds, it drops into gear. Since no "codes" show up when the car is taken in for repair the dealer will not acknowledge there's a problem. This is a severe safety hazard that could result in an accident if the driver is attempting to cross a roadway, mover over railroad tracks, etc. The vehicle doesn't move when the accelerator is applied.
Automatic transmission lunges forward and vibrates when shifting from first to second gear. Dealership has examined vehicle to determine the cause of problem.
Transmission problem: At 40 mph going downhill unknowingly went into neutral and accelerating to maintain speed went over 3000 RPM. Normally at that speed 1400 RPM. Transmission bolt missing. Found by owner after dealer performed oil change. No paint scratched where bolt would have been if there was a bold there from manufacturer. Dealer replaced bolt at no charge. Hot front brake left side & tire feels hot - noticed by smell from left side - right side front no heat or smell. Found after traveling 60 mph and wheel & tire hot to touch. Dealer examined all brakes, claimed all normal, even brake pad wear on all brakes and found no abnormal conditions, but no problem since they dealer looked at this.

Original transmission was slipping and truck going into a "neutral" while on highway, took to dealer and they kept it 11 days had to replace entire transmission. Now, aprx 6 weeks later truck is again not shifting right, put in reverse from parked position, press accelerator and the truck slams into gear. When in drive from parked position accelerate and it revs and revs and finally slams into drive then intermittently while driving goes in & out of gear. Pretty disgusted for a xmas gift at $45,000 never expected this.
