Consumer Description

THE ENGINE STARTED TO OVERHEAT AND THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SHIFT IRRATICALLY. THERE WAS AN OILY SUBSTANCE IN THE COOLANT RESERVOIR. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A KNOWN CONDITION REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR AND REBUILDING OF THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THERE WAS 101000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THAT THE ENTIRE $3800 FOR REPAIR WOULD HAVE TO BE BORNE BY ME . I TRIED DRIIVING THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES AFTERWARDS WITH THE SAME RESULT. IT HAS BEEN PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE FOR 6 MONTHS NOW AS I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR. *TR
