Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 1) there was no warning of impending failure on the transmission on this vehicle. it simply ceased to function in forward speeds in a mattler of less than half an hour. *ak 2) it was parked on street for about two hours after having been driven 20 miles on the freeway. after starting the car, i shifted into drive and found there was no drive gear. shifting down, there was second and first available. as i was less than 10 miles from my home, i drove there on back streets, using second gear. within a mile of my home, second gear failed and first gear barely engaged. i had to have it pushed from a busy intersection to the side of the road. subsequently, it was towed to a service facility for an estimate. 3) as of today, i have not had it repaired. after an external investigation turned up no answers, i was told that the only way to approach the repair would be to open up and examine it. an initial "guesstimate" was $900 to $2800.
