AFTER ABOUT 3000 MILES, I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE A "BUCKING" OF THE CAR AT VERY LOW SPEED IN TRAFFIC (~10-15MPH). EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER AND WOULD HAVE TO STOMP ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GET THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS BEGAN TO OCCUR REGULARLY UNTIL I DECIDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN AS PART OF THE FIRST SERVICE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE PART TO ARRIVE AND THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN SERVICE BULLETIN. MY DEALER HAS BEEN VERY ACCOMMODATING HOWEVER IT IS VERY UNNERVING TO HAVE TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION JUST 5000 MILES INTO THE LIFE OF A VEHICLE. I AM ACTIVELY EXPLORING OPTIONS TO ADDRESS THE FINANCIAL LIABILITY THAT I NOW HAVE AS PART OF THE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

AIR BAGS
THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG DOES NOT ALWAYS ACTIVATE WHEN THERE IS AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THAT SEAT. THE INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON ABOUT 50-60% OF THE TIME (INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION) WHICH PUTS THAT PASSENGER AT A HEIGHTENED RISK FOR SERIOUS INJURY, OR DEATH. *TR
