Filed Aug 13, 2021 · Transmission · WY

Faulty TCM After purchasing my car it would hard shift in the 3rd and 4th gear And I realize that shortly after purchasing it chant and then one night I was on the freeway and between 2 semi trucks when it's just neutral and then tried shifting into 2nd gear Which almost caused me to wreck in between 2 semi trucks which was not cool and Now my car only shifts into 1st and 2nd gear and when it gets to 3rd it neutrals , It won't go into 3rd or 4th gear . I took it into the dealership to get new software Uploaded on my TCM they said it was fine so I drove it out the parking lot and still doing the sa.e thing won't shift into 3rd gear so I took it to another shop to have it looked at because I didn't want to risk my life driving the car. I'm not gonna take it back to a place that just gotten to tell me that everything was fine when it's clearly not so we put it on a lift inspected it and it shifts from 1st all the way up to 4th no problem and then soon as you put it on the ground and start driving it ,it does the same thing neutrals when it gets the 3rd . Then after looking further into the car the mechanic noticed how small the groundwire was compared to the power wthe power wire and it wasn't getting enough voltage So I'm thinking that also could be a major issue Later on down the road And that might even be the cause of the TCM going bad . It's just crazy to me a car would be OKAY to be sold with the problems it has And there's a lot of people online with the same kinda of problems as mine All I have to say is I'm lucky that I'm alive due to These problems.

Car gets stuck in gear when parked and is difficult to shift when driving. The car when parked is on a flat surface and you need to yank it out of gear when the car is running. If you back up the car and try to take it out of reverse you have to yank it out of gear.

The vehicle is experiencing difficulty taking the manual transmission out of gear with the clutch pedal fully depressed. This occurs on both cold and hot start up as well as when driving or stopping during in town driving. This creates a dangerous situation in that the driver could inadvertently roll into an intersection where they do not have the right of way, another vehicle, pedestrian or building. The vehicle will "creep" on flat ground if it is not placed in neutral and the brake is released. Using our friend google I have researched this issue and it appears from discussion on multiple forums that it is a known issue for my and other model years. Two case numbers from the manufacturer seem to indicate that there is a procedure for correcting this issue. Case numbers are k38556860 and s1021000004. The case numbers are not recalls and I have never been notified of the issue by the manufacturer. I have attached a file with the two cases that explain an inspection and remedy procedure. 11/14/2019 is not the correct date of the occurrence, it has been happening for a number of years. Best guess is this issue started sometime in 2016, exact date unknown, vehicle mileage is estimated. Due to the nature of the possible dangerous situation I feel this must be addressed to the manufacturer and possibly made into a recall of all vehicles affected to accomplish the remedy as described in the attached cases..

Throwout bearing screech-squealing noise. Bad grease on the input shaft and clutch hub splines. These issues LED to clutch failure. Slave cylinder blew out and clutch fluid leaked out of the lines.
