Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION HESITATES SO BADLY GOING INTO SECOND GEAR THAT I AM CONSTANTLY ALMOST REAR ENDED, AND BEING SCREAMED AT BY OTHER MOTORISTS, ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC. IF YOU'RE NOT AT A COMPLETE STOP, IT'S NOT AS BADR. BUT FORGET IT IF YOU HAVE TO STOP FOR OVER 3 SECONDS. TRAFFIC AND PARKING LOT SEEMS TO BE THE ABSOLUTE WORSE (IF YOU'RE KEEPING IT AT 15 MPH OR UNDER IT SEEMS. FIRST THEY REPLACED THE VALVE BODY, THEN 2 TRANS MOUNTS, ALL AT A COST TO ME, BEFORE THEY DECIDED TO REPLACE THE TRANS. TRANSMISSION WAS SUPPOSEDLY "REPLACED" UNDER WARRANTY, BUT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. ALSO, NOW HAVING ENGINE REPLACED, BECAUSE IT BURNS 3 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON THIS CAR.
