| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Transmission began shifting hard & then the od off light began flashing. before i could get it to the dealership that day, the transmission just quit. i parked at a grocery store, ran in & when i came back out to leave, it wouldn't shift. it remained in park even though the gear shift was being moved through the gears. i took it to a transmission shop & had the whole transmission rebuilt. it was full of metal. i was going to have the transmission serviced for the regular maintenance but never got the chance. at 72,000 miles, it was rebuilt for $1800 plus the $180 towing fee. if i had more warning, i may have been able to catch it before the whole thing went bad, but the light never came on until it was too late. i have taken good care of this vehicle, no off-roading, rough driving, or anything. never so much as a hiccup until this. *tr |
