Consumer Description

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE. CARS TRANSMISSIONS FOR 6 MONTHS HAS BEEN SHIFTING ERRATIC, HARD, SURGING, DOWNSHIFTING WITHOUT NOTICE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND SLIPPING. CAR ONLY HAS 13K OF MILES AND NOW IS IN AT THE DEALER FOR A NEW TRANNY. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THIS FAILURE AND A FEW FATALITIES IT SEEMS. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED FAST. I PLAN TO DITCH THIS CAR IN THE NEXT 6 MONTHS BECAUSE IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL SAFE ANYMORE TO DRIVE. EVEN THE REPLACEMENT TRANNYS ARE DIEING.
