Consumer Description

WELL FIRST OFF I WAS DRIVING AND MY SPEED STARTED TO DROP SO NATURALLY I PRESSED THE GAS HARDER AND HARDER AND THE RPMS JUST KEPT SHOOTING UP AND THE CAR WOULDN'T GO AND MY ENGINE WAS ROARING LIKE A MUSTANG TRYING TO RACE SOMEONE. SO MY OVERDRIVE LIGHT IN THE DASH STARTING BLINKING ON AND OFF AND I KNEW SOMETHING WAS SCREWY SO I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE AND RESTARTED MY CAR. MY CAR WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS THE RPM NEEDLE WOULD JUST SHOOT UP AS IF I HAD MY CAR IN PARK. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED ALL OVER TOWN, TO FIND THE BEST QUALITY SERVICE ON A NEW TRANSMISSION I LEARNED THAT 626S' HAVE THE WORST TRANSMISSIONS EVER!!! IT COST ME $2,000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I THINK I DESERVE TO BE REIMBURSED, AS WELL AS THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *NM
