| 2004 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS | DT: THE CONTACT STATED THERE WERE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. EACH OF THESE PROBLEMS WERE INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS 04V287000, 03V331000, 04V299000 AND 05V046000. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS DUE TO VIN. THE BRAKE PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE. |
| 2007 | POWER TRAIN | VEHICLE HAD SYMPTOMS OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANY, SERVICED IT WITH A TRANSMISSION FLUSH SINCE DID NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. THE CAR WAS SHIFTING ROUGHLY AT HIGHWAY SPEED. COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH TRANSMISSION, SAID IT WAS LIKELY THE DISPLACEMENT ON DEMAND, AND SHIFTING BETWEEN 4CYL AND 8 CYL. IT IS NOW SHIFTING HARD, NOT EACH TIME DRIVEN, BUT MOST TIMES. I OWN 2 OF THESE CARS AND THE TRANSMISSION ON THE 2006 JUST COMPLETELY FAILED, AND I RECOGNIZE NOW THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE TRANSMISSION, NOT THE DOD. I SEE FAR TOO MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION CROAKING WAY BEFORE IT SHOULD. I AM AFRAID THIS 2007 IS GOING TO REQUIRE THE SAME FIX, A FACTORY REBUILT TRANSMISSION, WHICH IS 3,000.00. PLEASE, PLEASE FORCE A RECALL AS THESE TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD NOT BE FAILING AT THE RATE THEY ARE. *TR |
