Engine light comes on...RPM's randomly go up and down causing vehicle to surge and/or stall. This is extremely dangerous. Also, when shifting from park to reverse, the transmission engaged roughly and now will car will not shift into 3rd gear to acceletrate beyond 40 m.p.h. Took car in for service twice while under warranty complaining about jerk in transmission, the transmission was replaced the first, now 37,000 miles later out of warranty and complete failure . Company advertisers car will not need tuneup until 100,000 miles, I have had the car for only 60k miles and have had to have it tuned up twice at $600+ a pop. At that point car was stalling not delivering the power that it usually does.

I am having continuous problems with losing power between 1500 and 3000 rpms at any speed. The car will sputter and jerk then once out of the range of 3000 RPM the car seems to regain the power that it didn't have earlier. The electric system has never shut down completely and the check engine light has only come on three times then gone off again not to return until months later. I have not had an accident related to this problem yet. But I am afraid that one time I will be trying to get across an intersection and I will lose power and get hit.

Took car in for service twice while under warranty complaining about jerk in transmission, dealer said nothing was wrong, now complete failure. Company advertisers car will not need tuneup until 100,000 miles, they are right because car will not move. Review of several internet sites indicate many owners have same problem manufacturer should be required to repair at their cost.

Engine check light keeps illuminating on the dashboard erratically. When vehicle is placed into gear its jerks very hard in a jump motion with the engine idling high. Dealer has not been contacted.
