Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The transmission axle light is on and the dashboard says odometr off then the transmission axle light comes on and the car shifts hard. this happened at 49,000 miles the dealer said i would need a new transmission. i replaced transmission, and now at 75,000 miles the same thing is happening. this seems to be like there is some defective problem going on. i was very upset that the warranty didn't cover this as it happened over 36,000 miles but i refuse to have to again pay thousands of dollars for another transmission.*ak
