Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: To whom it may concern: my transmission has gone out twice now in the last two months. it would be easy to say that the tranny is going out because of my driving or something to that effect. but i know that i take care of my car with pride and drive it in the same manner. i have done my reading on this transmission, i have heard so many other people have the same problems. i am dissappointed and upset that i have to spend more on replacement of transmissions then i do on my car payments and insurance combined. i will have spent $8000 on tranny work by the end of this month since i have purchased this car in february. i know that the real question is whether or not this is a manufacturer defect or operator error. well, i hope for my sake and the sake of all others with this problem that your investigations conclude that a majority of the transmissions are defective. as a result of this potential defect, a worthy car is being taken off the road and consumers money is being spent on what should be a factory recall. thank you for your time, it is greatly appreciated. sincerely, tony spence
