Consumer Description

AT AROUND 50,000 MILES, I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT THE TRANSMISSION WHICH HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT GEAR SLIPPAGE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. THIS SECOND TRANSMISSION STARTED TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH GEAR SLIPPAGE AT AROUND 10,000 MILES. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER HAVING THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. I AM JUST BLOWN AWAY THAT THE SAME PROBLEM WOULD BE HAPPENING IN A "NEW" TRANSMISSION. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THE 2002 TLS HAS HAD SOME ISSUES, BUT WHAT GUARANTEES THIS NEW REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION WON'T HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *JB
