| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In the nearly year i've owned my car i've had four problems with my tranny. at the time i purchased the vehicle, i could not afford the $3000+ the dealership was asking for an extended warranty and no other extended warranty company that i've contacted offers extended warranties on twin turbo cars. so all of this, roughly $8000 in the past year, has come from my pocket, which i'm still paying. in the original transmission with the car, the seals were leaking roughly 2 months after i bought the car. i bought replacement seals and fixed this, only to have my tranny lock up the wheels on me while doing roughly 75 mph on the 241 toll road. it is only due to low traffic at that time that no one got hurt. i then replaced the transmission. and after about 6 months, my wheels locked up again, and on the 241 late at night. i have yet to figure out how i didn't get injured, and now, the latest problem is that this transmission is leaking as well! for originally being a $45000 sports car, which i purchased used at $20000, these are problems that certainly aren't expected or make the car worth owning.*ak |
