Consumer Description

DPS6 TRANSMISSION SHUTTER HAS BEEN ATTEMPTED TO BE REPAIRED 4 TIMES. WAS TOLD THE LAST TIME THAT IT SHOULD BE A PERMANENT FIX. IT'S STARTING TO SHUTTER YET AGAIN. EVERY TIME I'M TOLD IT'S OKAY AND HAVE TO FIGHT TO GET IT REPAIRED. THIS WORRIES ME AS ENTERING A HIGHWAY VIA ON RAMP WHEN YOU NEED TO BUILD UP SPEED AND IT SHUTTERS IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS.
