POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS IN MONTEAGLE TENNESSEE MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. MY CAR ACTUALLY STARTED ROLLING BACK DOWN THE MOUNTAIN, BECAUSE I COULD NOT ACCELERATE, BUT I WAS ABLE TO BACK IT INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AS I WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS. I WAS FRIGHTENED TO DEATH BECAUSE TRUCKS WERE COMING UP ON ME AND IT WAS NIGHT TIME. I WAS STRANDED FOR SIX HOURS IN THE MOUNTAINS BECAUSE MY CELL PHONE DID NOT WORK AND I DID NOT KNOW WHERE I WAS BECAUSE I WAS ON A TRIP TO CHICAGO FROM ATLANTA. LUCKILY A TENNESSEE STATE TROOPER SAW ME AND HE GOT ME A TOW TRUCK. I HAD TO STAY IN A HOTEL FOR TWO DAYS AND I HAD IT TOWED TO PYE ACURA IN CHATTANOOGA TENNESSEE. MY CAR HAD 90000 MILES AT THE TIME. PYE ACURA REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION UNDER THE 100000 MILE WARRANTY WITH NO PROBLEM AND HAD ME BACK ON THE ROAD. HOPEFULLY THIS TRANSMISSION WILL LAST, FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN HEARING, EVEN THE RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSIONS ARE BAD. I WAS STILL UPSET THOUGH BECAUSE I LOST A LOT OF MONEY PAYING FOR A HOTEL AND A TOW TRUCK, AND I WAS GOING TO CHICAGO FOR MY BIRTHDAY SO I MISSED MY PARTY. *JB
