| Description of the problem | I went to start my vehicle in the morning and it started and then turned back off on its own. This happened about 3 times,before it stayed on. I then drove the vehicle about 40 miles and the transmissions started to thump. The vehicle only has 100k miles. I kept up on all its maintenance. I took the vehicle to the dealership and the transmission light and check engine light both came on. I was informed it would cost 6,500 to repair my transmission. |
