Consumer Description

DEALER REPAIR CENTER STATES THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL CLUTCHES THAT WERE BURNT AND THAT A BROKEN BAND WAS FOUND AS WELL AS HAVING THE HOUSING SCALDED. SAID THAT AN AFTERMARKET TRANSMISSION FILTER WAS FOUND IN THE UNIT AND THAT A SUBPAR FLUID WAS USED TO REFILL IT. THIS CAR WAS PICKED UP BRAND NEW OFF OF THE LOT AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS NEVER SERVICED BY ANYONE SINCE WE HAVE OWNED IT. ALL REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE HAVE BEEN DONE AT THIS SAME DEALER AS WE HAD A WARRANTY ON THIS UNIT UNTIL 4 MONTHS AGO WHEN WE HIT 36,000 MILES.*AK
