What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
I was driving today on 4th of july at 10 miles an hour out of my driveway and it stop all of the sudden. Me, my wife and my daughter pushed it back into the driveway as I was blocking one way egress for the neighbours and their possible guests for july 4th. I do not know what failed, I guess it is shift cable broke.
What to check before buying
