Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2003 SABLE UPON DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, MY CAR JUST STOPPED GOING FORWARD. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A GARAGE AND HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. COME TO FIND OUT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WILL COST ME OVER $2700 TO REPLACE IT. I HAVE CONTACTED EVERY TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP IN A 75 MILE RADIUS AND THEY ALL GIVE ME THE SAME PRICE. THEY HAVE ALSO TOLD ME THAT EVERY SABLE THEY HAVE RUN ACROSS AROUND THAT YEAR OF PRODUCTION HAS HAD THE PUMP IN THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. THERE IS ONLY 72,000 ON THIS CAR AND I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURER. *CN
