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 purchased new in 2000 the ride was loose and jittery and the car could not be driven safely over 60 mph. Between 40 and 45 the front end bounced uncontrollably. The dealer drove the car (would not allow me to accompany) and declared "that's normal for this model...that's just the way SUV's ride." After 80,000 miles at speeds below 60 the transmission self-destructed. After replacing the transmission the ride is excellent.
When vehicle is parked on a hill, before driving off vehicle rolls backwards before going forwards, a chip within the engine is designed that no changes can be made to correct or improve the problem.
During acceleration from a stop the transmission does not immediately go into first gear resulting in a period of time where the vehicle is not moving, the consumer was told that this was normal in this vehicle. Nlm
