Consumer Description

WE WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN OHIO WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. UPON EXITING THE FREEWAY WE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND BARELY ACCELERATED AND THE VAN HESITATED AND WE BARELY MADE A SLIGHT TURN INTO A GAS STATION WHEN THE VAN WOULD NOT SWITCH INTO GEAR. WE MANAGED TO NURSE IT INTO A PARKING SPOT AND PUT IT IN PARK AND THERE IS WHERE IT STAYED, UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO ANY OTHER GEAR. WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO FLORIDA FROM MICHIGAN. THE VAN ONLY HAD 53091 MILES ON IT AND WAS MAINTAINED WELL. WE HAD THE VAN TOWED TO A DEALER AND WERE TOLD THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A FAULTY SUN GEAR. UPON FURTHER QUESTIONING WE WERE TOLD THAT SOMETHING NOT WELDED PROPERLY JUST "BROKE LOOSE" AND DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION. *AK
