Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

POOR STABILITY WHILE DRIVING UNDER WINDY CONDITIONS. FEELS AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS BEING BLOWN OFF THE ROAD AND THAT A CORRECTION COULD LEAD TO AN "OVER-CORRECTION". EVEN A LIGHT WIND (10 KPH) CAUSES THIS FEELING.*AK

THE TRANSMISSION, TORQUE CONVERTER, LOCK-UP SOLENOID HAS FAILED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME, THE DEALER REPLACED THE FIRST UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING, THIS IS AN EMISSIONS/DRIVEABILITY/ECONOMY RELATED COMPONENT. I AM NOW EXPERIENCING VERY POOR MILEAGE AND THE ENGINE SEEMS TO BE RUNNING INCREASINGLY POOR AS WELL. DRIVEABILITY SEEMS TO BE SUFFERING. THE DEALER STATES "NOTHING CAN BE DONE." - IS THIS TRUE?*AK
