Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MARCH OF 2012 AND ON THE WAY HOME I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WASN'T SHIFTING AT THE APPROPRIATE TIMES AND THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. AFTER I GOT HOME I CALLED THE DEALER AND ASK THEM OF THE CAR HAD ANY PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION, HE SAID NO AND NATURALLY I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS COMPATIBLE. 2 YEARS LATER I AM NOW HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND I DID RESEARCH AND NOTICED I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE I HAVE MY CAR AND ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE I AM. THAT BEING SAID THIS ISN'T A COINCIDENCE AND I AM IN THE SAME SITUATION I WASN'T TWO YEARS AGO HAVING TO PAY $1200 FOR A FIXED OR A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE REASON I KNOW THIS IS WHEN THE CAR IS IN FIRST IT DOESN'T WANT TO SHIFT TO SECOND AND HAS A BUMP AT EVERY OTHER GEAR.IF IT WAS JUST ME I WOULD UNDERSTAND BUT THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORUMS THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED PEOPLE. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW TO DISSATISFIED I AM ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I LOVE MY CAR AND I CAN'T KEEP AFFORDING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. I HOPE THIS CAN BE FIXED IN THE FAVOR OF THE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS THANK YOU. *TR
