Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING TO A LOCAL CITY POOL AND THE CAR APPEARED TO LOSE POWER. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND REACHED THE POOL. WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR, IT WOULDNT START. THINKING IT MIGHT BE THE BATTERY, I HAD SOMEONE TRY TO JUMP START IT BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND LEARNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AS THE RADIATOR FLUID HAD MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID DUE TO A FAULTY SENSOR. NOW I HAVE A PERFECTLY NICE VEHICLE THAT WONT RUN UNLESS I PAY TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR REPLACED. I JUST BOUGHT IT IN FEBRUARY 2014. IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE CLASS ACTION SUIT BECAUSE IT HAS 144,000 MILES ON IT.
