Recent complaints

October 29, 2026Power Train

I noticed that my gear shift lever was loose. I removed the boot of the shifter and found the 10mm bolt holding the shifter in place finger tight. It definitely would have fell out in a short period of time leaving the driver unable to shift into park or into any other gear. This could have been a very dangerous situation. I tightened the bolt and reinstalled the boot.
