Consumer Description

WITHOUT NOTICE, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO RESPOND IN ANY GEAR AND THE ENGINE JUST REVVED. I WAS ON A ROAD THAT WAS NOT BUSY AND ABLE TO COAST OFF OF THE ROAD TO A SAFE LOCATION. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON MY WAY HOME ON THE INTERSTATE DURING RUSH HOUR INSTEAD, I MAY HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT SINCE THE CAR JUST SLOWED DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR INDICATION THAT IT WAS ABOUT TO QUIT. I WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT STRIPPED TORQUE CONVERTER IS COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE.
