Consumer Description

I was riding down the road, and my “service transmission” code came on, it started stalling in the middle of the road and shutting off with my kids in the vehicle. It was sent to a transmission shop, they said there was nothing wrong with the transmission ** I eventually checked my oil and realized it was extremely low so I put oil in it, the next day the service transmission light went off and the car ran great. This morning 5/11/12 the same exact thing has started happening again without a “low oil” warning from my car, I had an oil change not even a month ago and I don’t have a leak. My motor is burning oil at a quart per 500 miles with no explanation and each time it gets low my check engine light comes on, my service transmission light comes on, and it starts shutting off in traffic. This is life threatening to my children!!! We’ve been on the interstate when my car has just completely shut off with no warning. I have videos of today’s incident in my phone that I can not upload to this page. This is my second complaint I’ve filed, and I never heard back on the first one.
