Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The transmission shifted very hard and make a loud "clunking" noise when shifting into forward gears after about the first 100 miles. it was taken in twice while still under warranty and i was told there was nothing wrong with it. the third time i took it in it was getting extremely bad, it was now out of warranty, and i was told i needed a new transmission. the front end has been aligned twice within 15,000 miles and still pulls hard to the right. the abs system has failed periodically over a six month period of time - it was reported three times. the third time they finally discovered that the sensor module on the front hub was defective.*ak
