Consumer Description

WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY TO ARBYS THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON ME WITH NO WARNING. MY CAR COULD NOT SHIFT GEARS TO GO INTO REVERSE OR FORWARD. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. THE EMPLOYEES AT ARBYS ASSISTED ME WITH PUSHING THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE DRIVE-THROUGH. THE CAR RUNS BUT CANNOT SHIFT INTO ANY GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED WITH A TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY RECONDITIONED TRANSMISSION WITH REMAN TORQUE CONVERTER. TOTAL COST OF REPAIR WAS $1,839.33. *TR
