| We are experiancing eratic transmission problems during shifting sometimes causing stalling, and a high r.p.m at high speeds. this worries me in the safety of driving. we purchased this vehicle because of the five star safety rating because of having a childcare business(for the safety of transporting little ones). thank you jon bradley | |||
