| While traveling at a slow speed on a wet road, the driver had difficulty shifting gears. the vehicle began to shake violently and lunged hard to the right (the driver was unable to correct or control). for unknown reasons, the vehicle then accelerated to a high speed and crashed into two trees. the accident might have been initiated by a malfunctioning electronic stability control (esc) system, causing unexpected braking action and pulling to the right. other malfunctioning electronic sensors and/or associated vehicle control modules, known transmission problems (harsh or unexpected transmission shifts: tsb 02-07-30-013e), or suspension components problems (rear axel or wheel hop: tsb 05-04-114-001a) could have been contributing factors. *tr | |||

| I just bought the car on december 18th, 2009 from a small dealer. it snowed over the weekend in delaware. i have been noticing a loud noise coming from the rear axles as i would try to navigate through the snow. it sounds like the rear is hopping up and down radically. this is happening from the point of take off when trying to drive through the snow at low speeds of 5 mph. i took the car to pep boys in philadelphia, pa to get an oil change and the mechanic's informed me that they heard the rear bouncing up and down when they were trying to transport the car from the parking space to the car lift. *tr | |||
