I GOT MY CAR IN MAY, 2006. IT WAS BRAND NEW WHEN I BOUGHT IT, BUT IT WAS IN THE SHOP ONLY SIX DAYS AFTER. I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT MY CAR WOULD JERK WHEN IT WAS SHIFTING GEARS (ALTHOUGH IT WAS AN AUTOMATIC). OVER ABOUT A WEEK'S TIME, IT GOT MUCH WORSE AND I HAD TO BRING IT IN FOR REPAIRS. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD NOT BEEN UPDATED. I BROUGHT IT BACK THREE MORE TIMES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE 4TH TIME I BROUGHT IT BACK, IT WAS SO BAD THAT NOT ONLY WAS IT JERKING WHILE SHIFTING, BUT WHILE STAYING AT A STEADY SPEED AS WELL. FINALL…

Owner report 10441695 · 2011-12-29 (December 29, 2011)
I WENT TO GO GET MY CAR CHECKED OUT AT A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE. TURNED ON MY CAR AND WHEN I WAS ON DRIVE IT WAS SHOWING SOMETHING WEIRD ON IT WHEN I PUT IT ON DIFFERENT GEARS THEY WOULD NOT GO IN ORDER. SUCH AS IF IT WAS IN PARK IT WOULD SHOW A D FOR DRIVE OR IF IT WAS IN REVERSE IT WOULD SHOW 3RD GEAR AND SO ON. WHENEVER I WOULD CHANGE GEARS IT WOULD KICK REALLY NASTY AND SHAKE ALOT AND I WOULD HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS JUST SO I COULD MOVE. THE EMPLOYEE THEN USED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DEVICE AND I HAD AN O2 SENSOR ISSUE AND A TRANSMISSION RANGE SE…

Owner report 10286561 · 2009-10-06 (October 6, 2009)
OWN A 06 RENO WITH 50K MILES ON IT. JUST RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING IN AVERAGE NORMAL TRAFFIC ABOUT 45 TO 50 MPH THE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR WOULD START FLASHING AND THE MIL LIGHT WOULD COME ON. DURING THIS TIME ANY CHANGE IN PRNDL WOULD CAUSE LOUD AND HARSH SHIFTING AS WELL AS SEVERELY DECREASED ACCELERATION ABILITY, ALMOST AS IF IT WAS FLOODING. EVENTUALLY THE MIL LIGHT WOULD GO OFF OR STAY ON AND TRANSMISSION FUNCTION WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS WOULD ONLY LAST MAYBE A FEW HOURS AND THEN WHOLE SCENARIO WOULD REPEAT ITSELF. MY RESEARCH HAS LED ME…
