Reported on Apr 21, 2011
| BOUGHT CAR NEW IN 2002 AND HAD A 7 YR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND SINCE I DRIVE VERY FEW MILES ,THE PROBLEM DIDN'T GET NOTICED UNTIL WELL INTO MY WARRANTY IN 2006 BUT MY CAR ONLY HAD 22,000 MILES ON IT! THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY AT NO COST WITH A REFURBISHED TRANSMISSION AND I WAS ASSURED I'D HAVE NO PROBLEMS....WELL LESS THAN 28,000 MILES LATER THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED WHAT I THOUGHT I WAS IMAGINING,A SLIPPING AND SLOPPY SHIFTING TRANSMISSION!!! IN THE TECHNICIANS NOTES HE STATED THE TRANSMISSION HAS A LATE SHIFT FROM 1ST -2ND AND A SLOPPY SHIFT FROM 3RD TO 4TH I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE WARRANTY WAS WELL OVER (EVEN THOUGH I WAS ONLY AT THE 50,000 MILE MARK AND WAS GOING TO NEED A SECOND TRANSMISSION ALL WITH NO GUARANTEE HOW LONG THAT WOULD LAST.HE TOLD ME HIS MANAGER WOULD CALL ME BUT I TOOK FROM HIS DEMEANOR THAT NOTHING WOULD GET DONE ON THAT END. I CANT TRULY AFFORD A NEW CAR BUT POURING MONEY INTO WHAT I CONSIDER A LEMON WILL NOT BE SATISFACTORY EITHER...ANY IDEAS? *TR | |
