Automatic transmission diseng, onto a clover-leaf, and were beginning to merge onto a junctioning interstate. The traffic we were merging into was traveling at highway speed (appx 70mph,) and we were almost rear-ended when the car disengaged from drive and began coasting and slowing down. This exact situation occurred 22,000 miles earlier.
While driving a bolt came off the suspension, causing the front tire to nearly come off. Also, caused the front end to lock up due to a transmission rod coming off.
Lower lateral arms and tie rods had to be replaced at 35,100 miles. When passing another vehicle at 60 MPH, the transmission went into neutral - very dangerous situation since another vehicle was approaching in the other lane. Also vehicle downshifts intermittently on a frequent basis. Power window regulator on right front passenger side failed at 35,100 miles.
The driver's side front ball joints are prematurely worn out, and cv boot is leaking, cause unknown. Please give any further details.
The driver's side axle broke, causing the tire to fall, resulting in loss of control. Dealer replaced the same axle twice. Dealer cannot determine the cause of the problem. Please provide further information.
Transmission would not shift out of first gear. Reverse gear inoperable.
