Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased this vehicle as new in april 2000. in november 2001, the transmission failed, and i was thrown forward at a high rate of speed as though rear-ended. the transmission was replaced with a rebuilt transmission at the dealer in temecula, california, and covered under recall or warranty (i think it was warranty, and that the recall was made after the fact.) well, now it has been a little over 2 years, and the same thing has happened again. while traveling on an interstate, my transmission failed, throwing me forward, and rapidly decelerating the vehicle. i was quite fortunate to have not been rear-ended! my neck and back hurt, and my dealer has charged me nearly $6000 for the repairs. a failure of this sort must be investigated before people are injured or killed. *la
