Consumer Description

AFTER PUCHASING MY CAR, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING ON A REGULAR BASIS. BETWEEN 5-40 MPH IT'S LIKE THE CAR DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO SHIFT GEARS AUTOMATICALLY AND JOLTS EVERY ADDITIONAL 5MPH OR SO. SEEMS VERY UNSTABLE. IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE ABOUT 28K MILES. WE'RE AT 51K AND IT STILL DOES IT EVERY TIME WE DRIVE. THERE ARE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES THAT SHOW UP (WE WENT TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT REPAIR PLACES) AND ARE TOLD IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT OTHER THAN REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN ON A CAR AT LESS THAN 30K MILES.
