| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I bought the car brand new. after about 8 months the car would get stuck in second gear when slow down. the car also kicks very hard while it does this. one time i was rounding a turn after it rained and as i slowed down around the corner the car kicked and the rear end of the car slid out into the plastic divider poles between the lanes. the poles caused a ding in the car an cracked a window. at the time it happened so fast i thought i had hit something and only a week later when the car kicked again did i realize that was probably what happened. i brought the car down to the dealer and was told i would be given a new pulse generator under warranty. then there was a recall on a part in the transmission and that was fixed. the problem still persisted and i have had the pulse generator changed four more times. my warranty is now up and the problem has come back. i have even installed a brand knew transmission. *jb |
