"Safe, Quick (when needed), and Comfortable -- a bargain"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

- Transmission Shimmy/Shake between 20-30 MPH (since new)

- Probably gonna have to replace the head gasket (recall item) as coolant light stay light all the time.

General comments?

- Outstanding Ride! Most comfortable car I have ridden in. Interior "wraps" around the driver.

- Great gas mileage, up to 33 MPG Highway. San Antonio Dallas trip.

- Extremely reliable. No major or minor repairs since new (but things are beginning to happen -- expected)

- Will own and rebuild this car as needed until the day I die.

I experienced the same problem (transmission chatter) during shifting. I replaced the transmission fluid with synthetic oil. (Mobile) The problem has completely gone away. I have now driven two years with no problem. One cautionary note is not to expect the fix to take hold immediately after changing the oil. It seems to take a hundred miles or so after going to synthetic to achieve the full benefit.
