 We bought this car used with less than 50K miles on it.  We had it serviced twice in the first month of ownership because the transmission studdered while shifting.  We were told that was normal behavior for the car and that the transmission was designed to learn your driving style and thus not be suitable as a car for multiple drivers.  How foolish is that?  They reprogrammed the TCM both times, which did absolutely nothing to fix the problem.  The car had to have new wheel bearings put on at 60K miles at a cost of $700!  Finally we got a recall notice about the obviously faulty transmission, so back it went for more repairs.  Again, this did NOTHING to correct any of the problems.  In fact, after we had that done, the car died en route to work with no warning whatsoever.  It literally lost 100% power while merging onto a 50 mph road.  We had it towed to the dealership where they said it needed a new wiring harness that wasn't covered under warranty and wasn't related to the bad transmission (they said).  That was a $500 job.  After owning it for only 9 months we traded it in for another vehicle at a loss of $5000.00  Honestly, we're just happy to be rid of it.  It was too big of a risk to drive.  You never knew if you were going to get to your destination alive.
