The gear shifting doesn’t seem to grab properly all the time. It will lurch into gear sometimes and sometime won’t engage in the gear indicated. The indicator lights dimmed and now don’t illuminate so you don’t know what gear you are in. It seems like this is a specific recall to my vehicle but when I enter my vin it says my car is not affected. I hope this can be looked into and repaired under the recall.

What owners say
While driving, my left front wheel suddenly began making a grinding noise. This continued to happen over a span of about 1 week before I sought a mechanic for repair. The day before my vehicle was scheduled for repair, the accident occurred. As I drove to work one morning on the local highway, the vehicle began to jerk to the left. I slowly drove, with emergency lights on, to the closest exit and suddenly my vehicle jerked to the left causing me to crash into the grassy area of the exit. My left front wheel was almost off the vehicle and it had to be towed for repair.
"takata recall" about a month ago my truck (ABS) started active itself and when driving it will act as if it's about to stop on its own and jerked to the left. Then shortly after it start making a loud noise then the noise gotten louder where others can hear it not only me. I had one of the wheels hub replace and it stop for a day and continue and now it's to the point where it's beginning to shake while driving,and ride different. I have three kids who I have to worry about.
The speedometer is erratic. The needle is jerky when rising, and sometimes the gauge gradually reads slower speeds until it finally hits 0. The problem is usually resolved by turning off the car and restarting, but the jerky needle is always present.
