![]() "believe this was part of the shifting problem" Caused car to surge, speed up then shift down. I fear that the transmission will fail soon and I really don't need the extreme expense of replacing it." I had a transmission flush and it helped only minimally. I suspect that it is the torque converter. "For 3 months or so the transmission has been slipping intermittently. Had it looked at by mechanic who flushed out and replaced the transmission fluid and said we will have problems in the future and that it will cost $1500 to repair and $3000 to replace. "Noticed high-pitched noise about 3-4 months ago. "shifts rough on occasion usually on highway" Hydraulics (clutch master or slave cylinder) "Was not able to shift into Drive or Reverse" "After buying a set of new tires, kept hearing a roaring noise during driving, come to find out the rear wheel bearings went bad and cost a pretty penny to replace" Replaced bearings with recommended replacements. Found a TSB on the rear bearings when servicing the front bearing. "Passenger wheel bearing was making a faint grinding and squealing noise, no handling problems. "Tie rods were replaced due to wear and tear" "worn outer tie rod due to extremely rough road living on" "Had or replace rack and pinion to pass inspection. 2 years later it needed $2000 in repairs for tie rods, torsion bars, linkage, new front wheel bearings & many other front steering problem" "2 months after purchasing the car it needed $1800 repairs on the rack because it was leaking brake fluid badly. Steering linkage (includes rack and pinion) "struts were leaking and deteriorating the engine mounts" Repaired by dealer prior to any real damage being done" I replaced both complete front strut assemblies" "One of the front springs was broken and the vehicle sagged to one side. "Hose leaked, was replaced, no additional problems" "Oil line corrored and leaked so pump was noisy. "2 months after buying it used the car needed $1800 in repairs because of the leak and bad parts" "car made thumping sound during hard turn right or left" An X indicates that the vehicle was not manufactured for a specific year. ![]() N/A indicates that we did not receive a large enough sample size to provide data for a specific year. Our subscribers provide great insights into their satisfaction by answering one simple question: If they had it to do all over again, would they definitely buy or lease the same model? In addition, respondents also rate their cars in six categories: driving experience, comfort, value, styling, audio, and climate systems. To learn about satisfaction, CR has collected survey data from our annual survey on more than half a million vehicles. Based on this data and further analysis, we predict reliability for the latest year. Extra weight is given to the more serious areas such as major engine or transmission problems. The results are presented relative to the average model that year. Consumer Reports subscribers reported on any serious problems they had with their vehicles during the past 12 months that they considered serious because of cost, failure, safety, or downtime, in any of the trouble spots included in the table below. The reliability charts are based on responses on hundreds of thousands of vehicles from our latest Annual Auto Survey. ![]()
