Consumer Description

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAD TO TOW THIS CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I HAVE ALREADY SPENT $6,000.00 ON THE TRANSMISSION AND THEN IT LUNGES WHILE BACKING UP AND I HAVE TO TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. IT IS VERY SCARY TO DRIVE THIS CAR WHEN IT DOES THIS. THEY HAVE THE NERVE TO TELL ME IT IS THE AIR FILTER!!!!! HOW CAN THE AIR FILTER CAUSE THE WRENCH LIGHT AND ENGINE SAFE MODE TO COME ON!!! THEY KNOW THAT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX IT SO THEY ARE GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. THERE IS NO WAY I SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION TWICE ON A 2005 VEHICLE. I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE IT CAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL LEAVE ME STRANDED OR JUST LUNGED INTO SOMETHING OR SOMEONE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR
