This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
(a) notchy shifting (B) resistance going into 3rd gear (C) grinding related to 3rd gear (E) transmission kicking out/popping out into neutral from 3rd.
The vehicle has a manual gearbox and the clutch pedal is very stiff to operate. This combined with a fairly long travel could require short divers to position their seat very close to the steering wheel in order to get enough leverage in their leg to fully depress the clutch pedal prior to staring the engine. The incident date is non-specific as this is an ongoing issue. I have raised my concern with the local dealer and was advised that they cannot reduce the stiffness of the clutch action or reposition the engine disconnect switch (so that the pedal does not need to be pressed to the floor).
