Consumer Description

2004 PONTIAC VIBE WITH 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION FAILED 3 TIMES. FIRST IN THE SUMMER OF 2007 AT ABOUT 65000 MILES. TRANSMISSION SHOP SAID IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH A BEARING IN THE TRANSMISSION, FOR WHICH THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. THEY ALSO SAID IT WAS DIFFICULT TO GET REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSIONS DUE TO THE ISSUE. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED FOR ABOUT $3000 AND, VERY SOON AFTER, HEARD THE TELL-TALE NOISE OF IMMINENT FAILURE AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION SHOP REPLACE IT UNDER THE 6 MONTH/6000 MILE WARRANTY. THAT SECOND REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION FAILED IN FEBRUARY 2014 AT 208000 MILES. I WILL NOT BE REPLACING IT. *TR
