Consumer Description

AS I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE THE RPM'S WOULD GO TO 4 BUT MY SPEED WOULD ONLY BE 25MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN I PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF, START IT AGAIN, THEN IT RUNS LIKE IT SHOULD. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL COST $4000. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM BUT SO FAR NO RECALL. I HAVE READ THAT A PART IN THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT PROPERLY HEAR TREATED WHICH IS THE CAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *TR
