Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THE CAR STOPPED. WAS ABLE TO PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD. THE TRANSMISSION WAS THE RESULT OF A "DEFECTIVE BEARING THT CAME APART IN THE FINAL DRIVE OF THE TRANSMISSION, CAUSING METAL CONTAMINATION THORUGHOUT THE TRANSAXLE." THIS WAS THE ANALYSIS OF AUSTIN TRANSMISSION. CAR IS A 2001 BUICK LESABRE WITH 50,000 MILES. AUSTIN TRANSMISSION SAYS GM HAS "UPDATED PARTS" - PARTS WHICH REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THIS WAS A DEFECTIVE PART. NO TRANSMISSION SHOULD FAIL AT 50,000. THIS CAR WAS NOT DRIVEN BY TEENAGERS. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR - AGE 65 BUT I WAS DRIVING IT THAT DAY. *AK
