Consumer Description

My car was running fine up till last Wednesday when I got to work and I pulled in and put it in park shut the car off went into work I came out nothing the battery wouldn't crank over nothing I had a jump started once it jump started it wouldn't go in reverse and barely went forward now they're telling me I need a TCM and a clutch and they're quoting me 4,600 but I can't just replace the TCM because the transmission case is cracked and it won't relearn you know I don't know what's what to do anymore I mean this car I only put $44,000 miles on it I mean I bought it used but yeah I had no warning that the battery was bad and they're telling me that that's what caused all this and it caused the TCM to fail which cracked the transmission case you know and I can't drive it they're saying because it's dangerous to drive but I have no choice I don't have a car and I got to get to my job and of course my van isn't covered under this TCM replacement that they got going on with 150,000 miles or 10 years cuz my car only has 144,000 miles on it so now I'm I don't know what to do about thisall I know is that this car was running perfectly fine and shifting perfectly fine all day Wednesday until I got to work and turned it off and went into work and came out that's when I got nothing no battery nothing it just I don't know what happened but it was running perfectly fine before that and there were no indications to me that the battery was bad or anything else was wrong with this car before any of this happened none whatsoever I wouldn't even have known cuz I had no problem it went in reverse just fine went drive just fine cranked up every time there was nothing wrong with the battery that I know of all I know is when it died it's caused all these problems
