Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN SUDDENLY SHE HEARD LIKE A WHIRRING SOUND AND THE CAR JUST SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN. SHE PULLED ON THE SIDE AND NOTICED FLUID WAS LEAKING UNDERNEATH THE FRONT SIDE OF ENGINE. WE HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. TALKING TO THE AGENT, THEY TOLD US THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED INTO RADIATOR AND RADIATOR COOLANT/TRANS FLUID LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION. COST OF REPAIRS: $1130 TO FLUSH OUT THE FLUIDS AND 5000 TO FIX TRANSMISSION. MY PROBLEM IS THAT WE'RE UPTO DATE WITH THE SERVICE CHECK-UP AND UPSET THAT THIS WAS NOT PREVENTED FROM HAPPENING. *TR
