Owner Complaints (4)
While driving on the highway at 65 mph, your transmission stopped shifting gears, causing the vehicle to lose power and slow down dramatically. The dealer replaced the transmission, but you're also experiencing problems with the starter and alternator. Additionally, you've had issues with a broken axle, a malfunctioning defroster, and a failed cassette player. These issues may require replacement of the transmission, starter, alternator, axle, and defroster components.

Your car lurches forward unexpectedly when you're stopped at a traffic light, even though you recently had a new transmission installed. This suggests the problem may not be related to the transmission itself. The issue likely involves the engine's idle control or throttle system and should be diagnosed to prevent unintended forward movement.
