| Description of the problem | Car stutters when i accelerate whil going uphill between 40 and 60 miles an hour. Dealership mechanic reported that the transmission fluid had been contaminated by the radiator failing. There are 102,000 miles on the vehicle. The dealership is charging $6,100 to repair a truck that is worth less than that. The dealership says that as i am 2,000 miles past the warranty, they will not discount the price of repair, even though this is a well documented issue. Neither the dealer i bought the truck from or the dealer performing maintenance for the last three years has ever mentioned or checked for the issue. |
