Consumer Description

ON MY 2001 BUICK LESABRE, THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. SINCE WE HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEY ARE REPLACING IT WITH A USED TRANSMISSION, WHICH IS A CONCERN SINCE I DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY MILES IT WILL HAVE ON IT. IN ANY EVENT, I DO NOT THINK A TRANSMISSION SHOULD GO OUT AT 50,000 MILES, AND SINCE IT HAD OTHER PROBLEMS WHICH CAUSED IT TO END UP AT THE DEALERSHIP, I AM CONCERNED TAKING IT ANY DISTANCE. THE REASON I PURCHASED A BUICK WAS RELIABILITY, BUT IT HAS BEEN THE MOST UNRELIABLE CAR I HAVE OWNED (I AM 53), AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A TRANSMISSION GO OUT AND HAVE OWNED CARS SINCE I WAS 18. *JB
