TRANSMISSIONS ON AMERICAN CARS ARE MESSING UP TOO EARLY. MY FRIEND'S DODGE CARAVAN WENT OUT AFTER THE 36000 MILE WARRANTY, MONTH LATER. OTHER CARS THE SOLENOID ON UPSHIFTS 1-2 AND 3-4 WERE CAUSING HARSH UPSHIFT PROBLEMS ON MANY CARS. OLD CARS BEFORE 2000, TRANSMISSIONS DID NOT FAIL FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS, TODAY'S MODEL TRANSMISSIONS WERE CAUSING PROBLEMS THE FIRST 3-5 YEARS. THESE PROBLEMS ON THE 2002 BUICK CENTURY HAPPENED THE LAST 3-5 YEARS. 1. HARSH UPSHIFTS ON TRANSMISSION, 1-2 3-4. 2. POWER WINDOWS, AFTER 3 YEARS, DIDN'T WORK ON REAR WINDOWS AND WERE TO SLOW ON THE FRONT WINDOWS. 3. STEERING WHEEL STEREO CONTROLS VOLUME WAS NEVER FIXED AFTER TAKING 5-10 TIMES FOR REPAIRS. THESE WERE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS I WAS SPENDING FOR 4-5 YEARS OF DRIVING. IF NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT THIS I WILL BE TURNING TOYOTA, CAMRY. YOUR ADVICE WILL VERY GLADLY BE APPRECIATED. *AK

THE DEALER CLAIMED THAT THE ROLL BACK WAS DUE TO THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE TORQUE OF THE WHEELS.*AK THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS DESIGNED. *JB *NM
