COMPLAINTS ARE AS FOLLOWS: 7 SPEED TRANSMISSION HAS PROBLEMS SHIFTING IN LOW GEARS. SEEMS THAT BETWEEN 3RD & 4TH GEAR CAR HAS A PROBLEM ACCELERATING.

IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME SO I CAN NOT PREPARE FOR MY RESPONSE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK …

Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation public data (complaints, manufacturer communications, investigations), model years 2010 and later. Had a safety problem? Report it to NHTSA.
In complaints filed with NHTSA for model years 2010–2011, owners most often name: power train, service brakes, hydraulic, fuel system, gasoline. 6 complaints are on record.
No. A complaint is an unverified report from an owner. A technical service bulletin (TSB) is the manufacturer telling dealers how to fix a known issue; it is not a safety recall and is usually covered only under warranty. A recall is a formal safety action, and its repair is free.
File a vehicle safety complaint at NHTSA.gov. NHTSA reads every report, and patterns of complaints are what open defect investigations and, eventually, recalls.
