Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING HOME AT 11PM ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2006 MY CAR STOPPED MOVING AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT-HAND TURN. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS IN ORDER; THE CAR SIMPLY WOULD NOT MOVE. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO COAST ACROSS THE ROAD AND STOP THE CAR IN A SAFE LOCATION. AS I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA, THE ROAD WAS EMPTY OR I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. I WALKED TO A NEARBY BAR WHERE I CALLED AAA TO COME AND TOW THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOME, THEN AFTER MY HUSBAND DETERMINED IT WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED IT THE PREVIOUS MARCH. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT AND NEEDED TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED! I WAS SHOCKED AS I HAD SERVICED THE TRANSMISSION AS RECOMMENDED AT 35,000 AND THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 52,000 ON IT. *TR
