Owner Complaints (2)
Your hill assist system (which helps hold the vehicle on slopes) is getting stuck in the engaged position and not turning off when it should, even after turning the car off and back on. This is causing your manual transmission to slip out of gear and your rear brake pads to wear down faster than normal. The problem started intermittently but is now happening regularly. The fix will likely involve diagnosing the hill assist control module and possibly replacing the transmission and brake pads.
