What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where they stated that that the clutch assembly and the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 15,400.
While accelerating through gears at normal speed and power. I shifted into fourth gear and as I rolled on the throttle at approx 45 miles per hour. The transmission jumped out of 4th gear and down into third gear. This caused the rear wheel to lock up and skid.
On four occassions my transmission has slipped from fourth gear down into third gear almost causing an accident. Each time I am accelerating and the gear slips down causing my rear wheel to briefly lock and loose traction with the roadway.
Vehicle stalled at 35 mph, consumer felt fuel pump was the cause. Has not been examined by dealer. Please provide additional information.
