Consumer Description

WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO GEAR, THE VEHICLE JERKS. ALSO, SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL GO BACKWARDS, BUT WILL NOT GO FORWARDS. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE, AND NOW IT HAS GONE OUT AGAIN. THE DEALER SAID IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY TO REPLACE IT A 3RD TIME, AND STATED THAT THE CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE TRANSMISSION. *AK
