Consumer Description

It was shuddering while accelerating- 30-40 mph. I took it to a local shop. They diagnosed the transmission is failing. The cost to replace it would be $8,500-9,500, more than the car is worth. Also other repairs were needed, not related to the transmission, yet pushed the total repair to over $10,000.
