| 2003 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | WHILE DRIVING THE CAR DOWN THE ROAD AND STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN WHEN PULLING OFF THE CAR STARTED TO JERK AND WOULD NOT GO WHEN IT DID GO AFTER ABOUT A SECOND AND I WAS ALREADY OUT IN THE ROAD THE CAR WAS STALLING AND ME AND MY THREE CHILDREN WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. TOOK THE CAR INTO A SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHICH A TRANSMISSION CANNOT BE FOUND TO FIT THIS CAR BUT ONE WHICH ALMOST 8000. AND NOW I AM READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS AND NOW AM SCARED TO TAKE A CHANCE TO FIX IT NOW THAT IT MAY NOT TAKE SINCE ALL OF THE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE RECALL THIS TYPE TRANSMISSION BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO SOMEONE AND THEIR CHILDREN. *TR |
