Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. THANKFULLY WE WERE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. NO GRINDING OR SLIPPING, THE ENGINE JUST REVVED AND WOULD VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. HAD 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR AT THE TIME. VERY DANGEROUS TO TRUST THIS CAR. GOT THE CAR TO A PARKING LOT, NOW IT HAS BEEN TOWED TO A MECHANIC TO BE CHECKED OUT. WE PREVIOUSLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH SOMETHING IN THE IGNITION OR SOMETHING WHERE THE CAR WOULD JUST SPUTTER AND DIE WHILE DRIVING. REPLACED DRIVER SIDE WINDOW MOTOR, BUT PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT WORK EITHER. PLEASE GET THESE OFF THE ROAD! *TR
