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.
The transmission is leaking and the car has only 4,000 miles on it. Also, the rear wheels are making a loud squeal when driving the car for the first time of the day. Dealer said wheel noise is due to a needed rebuild of disc brakes and the manufacturer is aware of the problem. I am on a waiting list to get my brakes fixed. However, the tranny should not be leaking at only 4,000 miles.
Vehicle operates properly through 3rd gear prior to the torque converter clutch engaging. Once the torque converter clutch engages, there is a noticeable slipping. this is evident at/and above 50 mph, both on 3rd gear (with od off) and on 4th gear (with od on.) the slipping is not intermittent; it occurs once the vehicle is hot, and when there is a increase in engine load, such as when going up hills (long grade) or when the throttle pressure is increased. It is also most noticeable with the air conditioning on. The slip stops (or at least I do not feel it) once the tcc disengages.
The vehicle vibrated excessively while driving. The dealer diagnosed the origin of the problem to the transmission but was unable to correct it., returned usps, 2nd attempt made 06/13/07 failed.
