POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHENEVER VEHICLE TRAVELED UP AN INCLINE AND THE CONSUMER RELEASED THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE MOVED BACKWARDS. *PH THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHEN GOING UP A HILL AND THE SMALLEST HILL. AS SOON AS THE DRIVER'S FOOT RELEASED THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE MOVED BACKWARDS. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS PLACED IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO REVERSE AND THE SECOND ONE'S FOOT WAS TAKEN OFF THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE WENT FORWARD. THIS WAS EXPERIENCED A FEW TIMES A WEEK. *SC *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR, AT A FASTER ENGINE SPEED OF ABOUT 2,800 TO 3,000 RPM, THERE IS A ROUGH SPOT OR ROUGH NOISE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON 1/1/04. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK A WEEK LATER TO HAVE LEATHER PUT ON THE SEATS, I TOLD THEM IT WAS PULLING TO THE LEFT. SUPPOSEDLY THEY ALIGNED THE FRONT END BUT THEY DIDN'T PUT ANYTHING IN THE COMPUTER ABOUT IT. THEY HAVE ROTATED THE TIRES, SWITCHED THE TIRES, ALIGNED THE FRONT END, PUT A NEW RACK ON IT ETC. ETC. THE LAST TIME THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND I SHOULD READ THE OWNERS MANUAL ON HOW TO OPERATE IT. I HAVE DEALT WITH THIS FOR 3 MONTHS AND NO SATISFACTION. I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AND TOLD THEM I WANTED ANOTHER CAR. THEY GAVE ME ONE TO SEE IF I LIKED IT AND THEN PULLED MINE IN TO WORK ON IT AGAIN AFTER I HAD TOLD THEM NO MORE. THEY CALLED ME TODAY TO TELL ME IT WAS FIXED. RIGHT!!! I HAVE CALLED MY LAWYER. *JB
