POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:PARK/NEUTRAL START INTERLOCK SWITCH
WHEN SHIFTING THE CAR INTO REVERSE IT WOULD HESITATE AND WOULD EVENTUALLY SHIFT AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS. AFTER A COUPLE DAYS THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE FROM PARK BUT WOULD IF IT WAS FIRST PUT INTO DRIVE AND THEN REVERSE. THEN IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR AND WOULD FREELY COAST ON AN INCLINE. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED ON A FLATBED FROM MY DRIVEWAY TO A DEALERSHIP. THEY HAD IT FOR 5 DAYS, DID NOT FIX IT CORRECTLY AND I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK IN FOR SERVICE. THE SHIFT CABLE HAD TO BE REPLACED. *AK

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY THE BACK WINDOW SHATTERED. THERE IS NO APPARENT REASON FOR IT. THE GLASS ALSO BROKE INTO SLIVERS. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT AUTO'S HAD TO HAD SAFETY GLASS TO PREVENT INJURIES? THE DEALER STATES IT IS TEMPERED GLASS BUT THIS WINDOW SHATTERED FOR NO REASON AND THEN THE GLASS SPLINTERED AND FELL INTO THE CAR. COVERING THE BACK OF THE CAR AND THANK GOODNESS THAT MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE FRONT SEAT OR SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. AS IT IS WE STILL HAD TO USE TAPE TO REMOVE THE SMALL SLIVERS OF GLASS FROM HER CHEEK. *AK
