While driving i lose power and can no longer accelerate. The problem is that the halfshaft retention circlip may not have been properly installed. As a result the halfshaft may move outward and disengage from the linkshaft while driving and without warning. If this occurs, power will no longer be transmitted to the wheels, increasing the risk of a crash.

Issue - 'shift to park' warning indicator is shown when the vehicle is parked and the shifter is in the 'p' position. Doors cannot be locked and internal/external lights remain on while in this 'shift to park' position draining the battery. While foot brake pedal is engaged, shifting away from 'p' and back to 'p' sometimes registers the vehicle as in the correct park position. Repeat until warning message is gone.…

While driving, the vehicle stopped pulling. The motor was still running and started vibrating. Turned off the car and then restarted it. It felt like the car was in neutral. I have seen the recall on the halfshaft disengagement and am not sure if my car has had this recall fixed. This has happened twice in the last 10 days.

As i pulled into the parking deck at my office (going less than 10 mph), i suddenly had little ability to steer, nothing happened when i pressed the gas and the "low oil" light came on. I was able to coast to a stop and just barely steer clear of nearby vehicles. Restarted the car and was able to back into a parking spot. Drove it to the dealer where they spent the entire day trying to replicate the issue to no…

The battery was going dead when vehicle left off and parked overnight. The gear shift is not communicating that the vehicle is in park and the displays would come on and drain the battery overnight. The error was mis-diagnosed and a new battery was purchased. The issues continued and the dealership states it is the gear shifter wiring. This should be a recall item, there is nothing to be done in normal daily use…

While driving down the highway my vehicle suddenly flashed a message that said "awd manual turned off." i could not accelerate, nor could i brake. I was lucky that the cars behind me did not rear-end me. I was forced to coast off the side of the road and wait for the car to stop on its own. Had i not had access to a shoulder on the road i would have been stranded in the middle of the highway. My mechanic stated they…
