| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 2006 magnum from lithia of fairfield in may of this year, 2006. the vehicle was running fine for the first five months (may-oct) with the only distraction being one of the rear windows operated fine from both power switches for 90% of the time. i took it in during routine warranty service and explained to one of the service managers but because the power window switches were operable that day i was told there was nothing they could do (that didn't sit to well with me, but i shrugged it off and said ok). in october, a few other incidents happened like the blue tooth quit communicating with the system. i figured to wait until my next routine service maintenance to have it looked at in a few weeks. around the same time frame i noticed the vehicle did not shift smoothly into reverse and that while sustaining a steady highway cruising speed the vehicle would feel like it wasn't firing on all cylinders if i gradually increased the rpms. i made note and asked to have this investigate at the same time i was taking the vehicle in for the scheduled maintenance. unfortunately (or fortunate, depending on point of view of surviving a highway accident), the transmission failed while on the way to work driving on a very, very busy and dangerous stretch of road where the average speed is about 75 mph. the fortunate part of this being i was able to limp along for about one half mile on newly completed shoulder of the road to an exit. i literally shudder, which sends chills down my spine, to think "what if my wife had been driving the vehicle?". *nm |
