Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Vehicle brought in for service two separate times for the same problem at 43,000 miles, for suspected transmission problems. was told that the oil pump, timing belt, and idle control valve were defective and needed replacement under warranty. at 60,000 miles the car was serviced for regular maintenance, and told to check the transmission, as it was still not functioning correctly. four thousand miles later, at 64,000 miles, the transmission seized while driving with two small children and one passenger. the dealer refuses to pay for repair at this time. retrieved information regarding the recall on 1993 legacy transmissions, concerned that i never received the recall information, nor was told by any of the last three dealers that i have delt with about this potential life-threatening defect!
