Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)THE CAR STARTED SHUDDERING STARTING AT BETWEEN 35-50 MPH AND ACCELERATING, ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING UPHILL. IT ALSO DOES IT AT AROUND 65 MPH. IT SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION ISN'T WANTING TO CHANGE GEARS. THIS ISSUE ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM ACCELERATING SLOWLY. IF IT STARTS HAPPENING, AND I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL DOWN A BIT FURTHER, THE CAR REVS UP PAST THE PROBLEMATIC SPEED AND IS FINE. I HAVE HAD THE TIRES BALANCED AND ROTATED, THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED, AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSHED. NONE OF THESE SOLVED THE PROBLEM.
WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE I-75 A LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH THAT STATED STABILITRAK IS OFF AND ENGINE SPEED WILL BE REDUCED AT WHICH TIME THE CAR JERKED TO A SUDDEN SLOW DOWN ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR BEHIND ME. CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THEN SEEMED TO RUN FINE AGAIN UNTIL TODAY 1-14 IN WHICH IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS I THOUGHT THIS MAY BE A "SAFE" CAR FOR MY CHILD TO DRIVE. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. IN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, IT SEEMS THAT SEVERAL IF NOT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. WHY HASN'T IT BEEN RECALLED? DOES SHE HAVE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE??? *TR
