| 2006 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | POWERTRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING ON A SPEED OF ABOUT 65-75 MPH ON THE FREEWAY/INTERSTATE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN BY STEPPING ON THE BRAKE AND THEN RELEASING THE BRAKE TO CONTINUE MOVING AGAIN AFTER THE SPEED GOES DOWN TO ABOUT 35-45 MPH, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT COMES ON AND YOU CAN HEAR THE ENGINE REVVING LIKE IT IS STUCK ON THIRD GEAR INSTEAD OF SHIFTING TO FOURTH GEAR. I HAVE BEEN TO AN AUTHORIZED NAPA AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THE CODE THEY FOUND OUT WAS A SENSOR PROBLEM. THEY CHANGED THE SENSOR AND SURE ENOUGH GONE AGAIN BUT THE "CHECK" ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WHILE I WAS CLIMBING UP ON A SLOPE THAT IS STEPPING ON THE GAS A LITTLE BIT MORE TO BE ABLE TO CLIMB THE SLOPE. WENT BACK TO THE SAME NAPA AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THIS TIME IT IS STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY ASKED ME TO DRIVE IT SOME MORE JUST IN CASE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISAPPEARS AGAIN AND IT DID. NOW I AM SCARED OF DRIVING IT ANYMORE UNLESS I HAVE TO FOR FEAR OF ANYTHING WORSE HAPPENS. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN 2008 WITH ABOUT 35K ON THE ODOMETER AND BOUGHT IT WITH "AS IS" CONDITIONS. I COULD NOT AFFORD A NEWER AND BETTER TRUCK SO I AM STUCK WITH THIS ONE. I HAVE NOW 48K MILES ON THE ODOMETER SINCE JULY, 2008. THE NAPA AUTO REPAIR SHOP SAID THAT THE NEXT THING THEY COULD TRY IS GETTING A USED TRANSMISSION OR EVEN A NEW TRANSMISSION BUT WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GUARANTEE IF IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR |
| 2006 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION | I HAD JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE CASH ON FRIDAY, JULY 7, 2006. IT HAD 27 MILES WHEN PURCHASED. ON FRIDAY, JULY 14, 2006, I WAS DRIVING ON A 2 LANE ROAD ON MILITARY BASE IN SAN ANTONIO WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. EVERYTHING ELSE WORKED IN THE VEHICLE EXCEPT START. I AM CURRENTLY STATIONED AT THE ABOVE POST FOR 3 MONTHS WHILE IN TRAINING AND PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AT A LOCAL CAR DEALER. TRIED CALLING THE SALES CONSULTANT WHO SOLD US THE VEHICLE AT HER CELL, WHICH SHE GAVE MY WIFE WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, NO REPLY, CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY GAVE ME THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE WHICH GAVE ME THE WRONG NUMBER TO CALL. THEY GAVE ME A SEX CALL NUMBER. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEIR RECEPTIONIST GAVE ME A PHONE NUMBER WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE A SECURITY SYSTEM. AFTER ALL THIS, I DECIDED TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER, AND TOLD THEM THEY HAD SOLD ME A LEMON...YES, I WAS VERY UPSET, I HAD JUST PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WAS NOT WORKING. I TOLD ONE OF THE GENTLEMEN AT THE DEALER AND HE BASICALLY STATED THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL MONDAY BECAUSE THE GENERAL MANAGER WAS NOT THERE. HOW FORTUNATE, BUT THEY WERE QUICK TO MAKE THE SALE AND TAKE MY CERTIFIED CHECK. I MENTIONED TO THE GENTLEMEN THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON GOVERNMENT PROPERTY AND COULD NOT BE LEFT ON POST WITHOUT NO REGISTRATION OR TAGS. HE STATED HE WOULD GET SOMEONE TO REMOVE THE VEHICHE AND NEVER DID. I HAD TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE AND CALL THE TOW COMPANY TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WASTED HALF THE DAY DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED IF THE DEALERSHIP WOULD HAVE BEEN WILLING TO WORK WITH ME. I FEEL THEY MADE THE SELL, RECEIVED THEIR MONEY AND WASHED THEIR HANDS OF US. ON TOP OF THIS ALL, IT HAS PLACED ME IN A DIFFICULT SITUATION IN MY MILITARY TRAINING. THEY WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH MY WIFE BECAUSE I WILL BE AWAY IN TRAINING UNTIL JULY 21ST. *JB |
