| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Trans code causing shifting problems. fluid replaced vehicle showed previously cleared shift solenoid code at this time verifying previous problems with another owner. was fine for a short time & again experienced shifting problems. engine light came on & solenoid was replaced at this time. three months later again experiencing shifting problems. fluid level was low & we added fluid to it. this process was repeated several times over the course of a couple weeks until we discovered fluid was leaking into cooling system through radiator. vehicle overheated & radiator was replaced & system flushed. a week after radiator replaced, vehicle again started to slip. engine light on again & repair shop has told us the solenoid needs replaced again and possibly the radiator also. this vehicle has obvious transmission problems and we can't afford to keep replacing the solenoid every few months. *jb |
