Consumer Description

PURCHASED VEHICLE W/4000 MILES, I WAS THE FIRST TITLED OWNER, 1ST TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITH 30705 MILES & WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. SECOND TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITH 53582 MILES. I DON'T FEEL A CAR SHOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT 30,000 MILES LET ALONE ANOTHER ONE AT 54,000. SOMETHING ELSE MUST BE WRONG WITH THE ENGINE TO NEED TWO TRANSMISSIONS IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS. *AK
