| Description of the problem | This car is driven about 5000 miles per year. At 5 years/25000 miles the transmission suddenly while in motion failed, leaving me stranded on the road. That transmission had to be replaced. At 10 years/50000 miles the transmission suddenly failed again, again while in motion, leaving me once more stranded on the road. That transmission also had to be replaced. It is now 12 years/60000 miles and today this transmission is starting to slip and make a whirring noise. (this is the date i have used below) |
