I WAS DRIVING TODAY ON 4TH OF JULY AT 10 MILES AN HOUR OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND IT STOP ALL OF THE SUDDEN. ME, MY WIFE AND MY DAUGHTER PUSHED IT BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY AS I WAS BLOCKING ONE WAY EGRESS FOR THE NEIGHBOURS AND THEIR POSSIBLE GUESTS FOR JULY 4TH. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT FAILED, I GUESS IT IS SHIFT CABLE BROKE. IF I WAS DRIVING ON THE BUSY HIGHWAY, THIS FAILURE COULD KILL ME AND OTHER DRIVERS WHO COULD BE DRIVING BEHIND. JUST BOUGHT THE CAR ON 5/31/15 FROM DEALERSHIP AFTER LEASING IT FOR 3 YEARS. WHILE PUSHING THE CAR BACK I HURT MY BACK EVEN MORE THEN IT WAS PRIOR. 7/4/15

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
