| 2001 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | I HAVE, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, ENGINE RUNNING ROUGHLY, AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. EACH TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY INSTALLING A DIFFERENT TYPE OF SENSOR (WHICH HAPPENS TO NEVER BE COVERED UNDER THE SO-CALLED EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED). THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS YET TO BE RECTIFIED YET REMAINS A PROBLEM. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN TURNING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM A STOPPED POSITION, CAR WILL ACCELERATE PROPERLY AT FIRST BUT THEN RPM'S WILL BUILD AND TRANSMISSION WILL VIOLENTLY JERK AFTER THE INCREASE IN RPM'S. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS DURING HIGH-SPEED (55-75) DRIVING CONDITIONS. OF COURSE, THE DEALERS (YES, I'VE HAD IT AT TWO DEALERS) HAVE NEVER FOUND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HAD AN INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION REPAIR PERSON CHANGE THE FLUID AND FILTER AND INFORM ME THAT THERE WAS A FILM IN THE FLUID INDICATING A WEARING PROBLEM WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION.*AK |
