Bad lifter causes engine failure at 100,006 miles. Engine had to be replaced. Transmission has extremely hard shifts from park to reverse, and slips between 5th and 6th. Doesn't throw any codes so dealer says it's fine.but it's obviously ruining itself. Reading all these transmissions complaints i can't believe it's not recalled
