ON 8/26/2012 THE ENGINE REVVED TO 6,500 RPM WHEN WE WERE GOING 20 MPH. THERE WAS A LARGE BANG. I TOOK IN TO THE DEALER ON 8/27/2012. I WAS TOLD A NEW TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED AFTER 2 DAYS OF DIAGNOSTICS . WE NOW HAVE BEEN WITHOUT THE VEHICLE FOR ALMOST AS LONG AS WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE. I AM TOLD IT WILL NOT BE READY UNTIL AT LEAST THIS WEDNESDAY. I FRANKLY FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE IN TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK IN THIS CONDITION.
