The tranmission in these cars are very faulty, and the company should re-call them. I think that there is a need for them to explain themselves to the consumer for we our the people buying these bad cars. I just bought mine and it has a trans. Problem already and the car only has 83,000 miles on it. I want answers on this and the company to fix these problems on these cars. There were over (66_) noted problems on this car alone and I think that you guys made them bad then you guys make them right and send out recall notices to the consumer. Before some-one could get hurt in a really bad car accident or even die in one because you could not put recalls out to the people who own these cars.

There is a clunking noise in the steering wheel and front left wheel when maneuvering a turn. Also my water pump has had to be replaced twice in the past year. My final complaint is that when I try and start my vehicle it doesn't always start when holding it in the start position.
