| Description of the problem | The car has had no previous issues with the transmission - note that the check engine light never came on. I was driving on the highway and my transmission started to stutter and the rpm's would momentarily rev very high. After driving for several minutes of this, the car started to decelerate - eventually getting down to about 25 mph. At this point, the car never regained speed. After getting the car towed to the local dealership, it was found that the transmission was damaged and needed to be replaced. |
