| 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GXP TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 96,000 MILES (AND 6 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY). STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO GO AND HEARD A CLUNK AND HAD NO FORWARD GEARS IN AUTOMATIC. DID HAVE TAPSHIFT GEARS AND REVERSE, THOUGH FORWARD GEARS SLIPPED. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALER (WE WERE OUT OF TOWN) AND TOLD THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AT A COST OF $3600. PLUS CAR RENTAL AND HOTEL TO DRIVE HOME AND RETURN TO PICK UP THE CAR WHEN IT WAS REPAIRED.
