| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In december 2002, the transmission would not slip into first gear from a complete stop and when i would have to slow down for traffic and accelerate. the truck would jerk into first gear. also, when i put the truck into reverse, once i shifted the gear into drive, it would take 8-10 seconds before the car would slip into first gear. january 4, 2003, i took the car to a repair shop and told them the problem i was having and they serviced the transmission, telling me that i was low on fluid, but that there weren't any apparent or visible problems. i did not have any further problems with the truck until february 5th or 6th, when the jerking began again. on february 10, 2002, on my way home from work i started the truck and it took about 20 seconds for the car to slip into first gear. then as i was going 55-60 miles an hour up an incline on a major expressway, the truck would not accelerate and began to make a "moaning" noise and the check transmission light came on. this was the first time that the transmission light had ever come on. i had to quickly pull over onto the shoulder to avoid being hit by a semi truck that was behind me. i turned the car off for a few minutes and started it again an the transmission light was off, but i could not accelrate over 20 miles an hour. i slowly drove to the nearest exit. the next day i took the car to a transmission repair shop and was told that i was 3 quarts low on transmission fluid, and that the cause was that the accumalator in the transmission was leaking. this car is only 2 years old! this is ridiculous! |
