| Description of the problem | Driving in middle lane on expressway in chicago, when slowing down for traffic accident again i thought i was hit from behind because my car jumped. As i came to a complete stop, car jumped again and then died. Towed to the dealer, was first told it was an ecm defect and would replace under warranty. Then received a call that some other errors came up regarding my transmission. They are going to replace my transmission based off the error but will have to pay the deductible. The issue of the car jumping had been happening prior and they could not replicate the problem. Had they not found the other errors i would have picked up the car thinking it was fixed and this could have happened again while driving 60mph on the expressway and possible serious consequences from it! I have ready many reviews about the transmission they have a problem and they don't want to recall for it! |
