Consumer Description

TOWARDS THE END OF THE MONTH OF JULY DURING A TRIP TO MAINE MY PUMP SEAL ON MY TRANSMISSION BLEW AND I HAD TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION INSTALLED IN THE VAN. THE VAN WAS JUST OVER 3 YRS OLD AND THE MILEAGE WAS JUST AT 51,000 THE MECHANIC AT THE REPAIR SHOP SAID AT THIS MILEAGE THIS PROBLEM NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED, AFTER PHONE CALLS TO MY DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT THEIR WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I FEEL THAT THE VAN NEVER SHOULD HAVE NEEDED A TRANSMISSION AT THIS TIME AND THAT I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED MY $1800.00. *AK
