Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2003 TOYOTA MATRIX AUTO TRANSMISSION, THAT HAS 58,000 MILES ON IT. A MONTH AGO THE 1ST AND REVERSE GEARS STARTED TO SLIP AND WAS HARD TO GET INTO GEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I LEFT THE DEALER AND IT STARTED AGAIN. 2 DAYS LATER I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET IT IN TO REVERSE AT ALL. I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP SINCE THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT CAME ON AND THEY CHECKED THE CODES AND LOOKED AT THE TRANSMISSION. THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REBUILT NOW AND WILL COST ME $2400. I LOVE THIS CAR. I BABY IT ALL THE TIME. I CHANGE THE OIL REGULAR AND ALWAYS KEEP UP ON THE MAINT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A TRANSMISSION CAN GO OUT ON A CAR THAT IS ONLY 5 YRS. AND 4 MO. OLD AND ONLY 58,000 MILES ON IT ! I DID CALL TOYOTA AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS REPORTED AND ALL WAS FINE. I ASKED THEM TO PAY FOR THE FIX AND THEY SAID THE WARRANTY WAS ONLY 5YRS. 60,000 MILES. I'M OVER BY 4 MO. I FOUND A WEBSITE THAT HAS ABOUT 10 OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME YR AND MAKE CAR THAT HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES. *TR
