What owners say
When vehicle won't go into reverse till its warmed up. When going forward between 2 and 3 gears, it won't shift into 3rd until it's warmed up.
The vehicle would not drive when put in gear. The transmission whines but the van will not move. When the van finally goes into gear it will not shift, it sticks in gears. The brake pedal is soft and goes to the floor, but will not stop quickly in an emergency. The original paint is also peeling to bare metal and is rusting, the clear coat is bubbling and the paint is starting to peel on the hood.
While driving at 45 MPH, stopped at a light. When pulling out vehicle got stuck in first gear, and vehicle would only drive at 10mph to 15 MPH. Took vehicle to dealer, and the dealer can't determine the cause of the problem.
Transmission stuck in first gear. Also snap ring and clutch plate pieces came off.
Transmission would not shift.
The vehicle jurked down the road and got stuck in first gear, vehicle had to be driven in first gear to the destination. This happened because of the rear bearing broke down and caused the metal fillings to get into the trans axles. Please describe detail.
While driving vehicle on highway and trying to change lanes the vehicle becomes very sluggish, owner also notes that automatic transmission causes vehicle to jerk while waiting at light; also, transmission sometimes gets stuck in gear.
