Consumer Description

WHILE ON A BUSINESS TRIP AWAY FROM HOME NOTICED THE HEATER STOPPED BLOWING WARM AIR. A FEW MINUTES LATER ENGINE TEMPERATURE SPIKED BUT THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. 50 MILES LATER HEATER STARTED WORKING AGAIN. TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND DISCOVERED TRANSMISSION COOLER WITHIN THE RADIATOR HAD FAILED, ALLOWING THE RADIATOR COOLANT TO MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. PAID FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION COOLER, SYSTEM FLUSH. HAD THE SYSTEM FLUSHED AGAIN 1 WEEK AFTER RADIATOR REPLACEMENT. TRANSMISSION NOW ACTING ERRATICALLY, PARTICULAR WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN 3RD AND 4TH GEAR. INITIAL ASSESSMENTS BY MECHANIC SUGGESTS TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION COMPUTER REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. COST OF REPLACEMENT EXCEEDS THE VALUE OF CAR EVEN THOUGH THE REST OF THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. *TR
