Consumer Description

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY BEGAN EMITTING A LOUD GRINDING TYPE NOISE, IT STOPPED PULLING FORWARD, AND COMPLETELY STALLED IN THE ROADWAY. AFTER I PARKED ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY AND PLACED THE GEAR SHIFT IN PARK, THEN BACK IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE SLOWLY STARTED TO PULL FORWARD AGAIN EMITTING THE LOUD GRINDING TYPE NOISE. FORTUNATELY, I WASN'T TRAVELING AT A FASTER SPEED OR ON THE FREEWAY WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN THE MALFUNCTIONS OCCURRED. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IN A COLLISION BECAUSE IF APPEARED AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CARRIED THE VEHICLE IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR ON EACH OCCASION TO NO AVAIL.
