| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I had a previous transmission failure on this car in 1996, after about 12,000 miles. transmission was replaced under warranty. current failure occured as i was starting to go up a steep grade. car shuddered, and engine reved without any increase in speed. there was loss of drive connection between engine and wheels. i downshifted to lower gear manually, and managed to keep car moving forward. after reaching top of grade, i resumed driving in high gear. as i would start on slight upgrades, or try to accelerate speed, engine would rev temporarily without acceleration of car. after stopping on side of road to check transmission fluid, i resumed tranvel. problem seemed to resolve itself, although there was some "hunting" of the transmission as it upshifted gears. when i returned to home area, i took car into dealership to have problem diagnosed. i have been informed that transmission has failed, planetary gear has broken off and "ground up" transmission. need to replace transmission. this is second failure of transmission on this vehicle, |
