Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A CLUNK NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AREA AND STOPPED SHIFTING OUT OF SECOND GEAR. I TOOK VEHICLE IN TO A REPAIR SHOP FOR TRANSMISSION SERVICE AND WAS TOLD BY THE REPAIR SHOP THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE ENGINE CRADLE HAS CORROSION AND HAS RUSTED TO THE POINT THAT THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO FALL OUT THE VEHICLE WHICH MOST LIKELY CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THIS WAS DISCOVERED WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS BEING LIFTED ON THE HOIST. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THEY ARE AFRAID TO KEEP THE VEHICLE ON THE HOIST BECAUSE SOMEONE COULD GET INJURED WHILE UNDERNEATH IT.
