Description of the problem | Started car in the garage, put the car in reverse and the dash lights were blinking and the radio display flashed and said service trans and the service trans stays lit. Had the car towed to the fuller dealer on rt 22. Somerville nj. Got the car back 8/8/14. The transmission continues to give me problems while shifting. At time i can step on the gas to accelerate and the car doesn't move than all of a sudden will rush forward. Slowing down and going around a turn is the worst because stepping back on the gas the car feels as if it's going to stop then at once it will rush forward as if i was stepping on the gas all the way to the floor. Had the car back and on 8/21 was pulling out of the driveway at work and heard a terrible grinding noise and lost ability to steer the car. Had it towed and the dealer called the next day to tell me that the left front axle had snapped and was probably a defective one from the manufacturer. I want to get rid of the car because i don't feel safe driving it. I'm afraid if i ever need to step on the gas to get out of the way of something, i will not be able to and will be involved in an accident. Terrible transmission and will be discussing my concerns with my lawyer. |
