| Description of the problem | The transmission fill pipe broke off and was hanging under the car. Luckily we noticed that something was hanging off the car while it was parked, my boyfriend reached under the car to see what it was and it came off in his hand. Had it fallen off while the car was in motion it could have caused an accident or it could have fallen off and we would have never noticed it and had problems with the transmission at some point. The dealership service department pretended like they'd never hear of this happening before but a quick internet search shows that this is an issue that many patriot and caliber owners have experienced. I also suspect that a lot of these have fallen off without the owners even realizing it. |
