Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT 75 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE TRANSMISSION BASICALLY WENT INTO NEUTRAL. TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT, AND I WAS ABLE TO COST TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY. I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE CAR TO WORK IN ANY GEAR (R, D, 1, 2). THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP FOR REPAIRS. THE SHOP DISCOVERED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER HAD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE AND LITTERED METAL PARTS THROUGH THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REQUIRED AT THE COST OF $2,212. *TR
