  • 48,350 miles
When the gear shifter lever was put into drive from reverse vehicle failed to accelerate when the gas pedal was depressed. This occurred while the consumer was reversing. Vehicle was towed to the dealership, and mechanic determined that the problem was due to a failure in the catalytic convertor because of the weak transmission being used. Also, indicated that this was a common problem with these vehicles.
