- Idaho Falls, ID, USA
When driving vehicle would jerk. Engine would become noisy and shaky. Would fail to idle properly. Clutch pedal would go to floor and failed to return to original position. Not able to shift gears. Have taken vehicle to dealership. Was informed by mechanic that problem were the valves in engine.
- Bensenville, IL, USA
Vehicle equipped with 6-speed manual transmission has a poor design in gear shift which allows driver to jump gears, such as shifting from 5th to 2nd durning a downshifting. This design did not have a catch which could prevent transmission in vehicle from failing due to stress. Dealership informed consumer that this was a common problem in these vehicles. Please provide any additional information/attachments.

Transmission is too easy to shift into wrong gears. Same four valves have been bent twice, once as a result of clutch sticking to floor causing a mis-shift. Cruise control disengages after a few minutes of use causing the car to slow down abruptly.
