Consumer Description

CAR LOST ALL FORWARD MOTION WITH NO WARNING. DIAGNOSIS: TRANSMISSION GONE. I WAS ON A NARROW 2 LANE ROADWAY AND WAS STUCK ON A CURVE. A SITTING DUCK. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO SIDE A BIT BUT STILL IN HARMS WAY. NO INDICATION OF ANY KIND THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM PRIOR TO INCIDENT. 12 HOURS PRIOR AT 11 PM AT NIGHT, I WAS TRAVELING IN THE TUNNEL UNDER BOSTON. THANK GOD IT DIDN'T GO THEN. THE CAR WAS 9 MONTHS OUT OF DEALER 5 YEAR / $100,000 WARRANTY. ALSO HAD TO REPAIR STEER GEAR BUSHINGS FOR $350 (WHICH I SEE ON THIS SITE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR MANY OTHERS). THESE SEEM TO BE DEFECTIVE PARTS, THAT PUT ME IN DANGER. *TR
