Jog slips out of first gear violently. The gear doesnt stay engaged and this is very dangerous when pulling out in traffic. This happens quite often. When it pops out, you are a standing duck.

So everytime when i fill my tank its over flowing and its a really big safety issues last week i was going to work and stopped in gas station and it over filled and my suit was all gas and went to work smeling as gas. Also this can be really dangerous . In the past under the service bulletin…
In the last 6 months, the power lock actuators have failed on all 4 doors. I have to manually lock/unlock all of the doors. They partially respond to the key fob, but they don't respond at all to the lock/unlock switch on the front doors.
When filling the gas tank fuel will spill out when the nozzle shuts off. Spilling copious amounts of fuel down the side of the vehicle all over the nozzle and my hand and creating a large puddle on the ground. This happens almost every time the vehicle is filled up.
