Consumer Description

GOT THE CAR A YEAR AGO FROM CARMAX. HAD THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 30 DAYS BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT. THE MILEAGE WAS RIGHT AROUND 52,000 MILES. THEY TOOK IT BACK, FIXED IT AND IT WAS FINE. NOW HERE I AM AGAIN LESS THAN A YEAR LATER I'M HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. JERKING REALLY HARD IN BETWEEN GEARS, RPM WOULD RED LINE BEFORE IT WOULD FINALLY SWITCH GEARS. NOW THIS TIME THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY GAVE OUT ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION! WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS, THE CAR MADE A NOISE AS IF THE POWER WAS FAILING, AND SURE ENOUGH IT DID. THE CAR CUT OFF ON ME. CONTACTED CARMAX AGAIN TO SEE IF I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. BUT THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME I'VE GOT THE CAR FIXED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. NOW I HAVE AROUND 80,000 MILES ON THIS CAR.
