Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Automatic transmission has not completely failed, car is still being driven due to fact that dealer is 90 miles away. problem is most noticeable when car is still cold. when vehicle is slowed for an intersection or stop sign, if you don't come to a complete stop, there is a very hard "thump" felt upon acceleration. has been getting noticeably worse with time. as far as the door handle is concerned, one day it just stopped working, the handle moves in and out, it just doesn't open the door.
