Consumer Description

I DROVE THE CAR TO DO ERRANDS AND IT WAS NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS. I PARKED THE CAR AT THE MALL AND CAME BACK TO DRIVE HOME AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE GEARS WOULD NOT ENGAGE. I WAS FORCED TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME. IT SHOWED NO SIGNS OF HAVING A PROBLEM, AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS INTACT WITH NO SIGNS OF A PROBLEM. THIS APPEARED TO BE A COSTLY REPAIR, SO I CHOSE NOT TO FIX IT AT THIS TIME.*AK
