| Description of the problem | When accelerator depressed rpm's would go to 4 or 5, but car wasn't getting much power. Pretty quickly rpm's started going to 6 and 7 with even less power. Stopped driving the car and had it towed to the nearest dealership. Was told the powertrain was still under warranty and it sounded like a transmission problem. When dealership called back they stated a part called a tipm needed to be replaced and the part is on back order with no estimated time of arrival. $925 for the part plus labor. What am i supposed to do until the part comes in, they said it could be 3 days or 3 months, no one knows. |
