Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While driving our 2003 tl-s on the hwy, the car suddenly violently jerked and the transmission seemed to be failing. sure enough i had the car towed to the dealer who informed me that the transmission needs to be replaced. i am extremely upset that my pre-owned vehicle with only 22000 miles has to have the transmission replaced. the car was very dangerous and could have caused an accident with the way it was causing whiplash. the company should do a recall on the transmission not just an extension of the warranty. so far we have experienced many of the complaints listed on the nhtsa website. we have had the tire sidewall bulge, which i had to pay to have the new tire replaced once it blew out on the hwy. we had to have the radio missfire fixed and now the transmission replaced within the last 6 months. this car is definitely not reliable.*ak
