Consumer Description

AFTER DRIVING FOR 20-40 MINUTES, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT VERY HARD FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. WE HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER AND AM TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST $1800.00 + TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. WE HAVE HAD 3 TRANSMISSION SHOPS LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM AND RUN DIAGNOSTICS AND TUNE UP ON THE TRANSMISSION. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS AGGRAVATING SITUATION THE LAST TWO YEARS, SPOKEN WITH MANY PEOPLE IN THE REPAIR BUSINESS AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO PINPOINT THE EXACT PROBLEM. THEY ONLY WANT TO "LOOK" AT THE PROBLEM AND COLLECT MORE MONEY, WHICH WE HAVE DONE ON 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS. ALL TO NO AVAIL. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.*AK
