| Description of the problem | Coolant and transmission fluid mixed and caused the car to shake and not accelerate. This was a recall item and by the time it happened at 79k miles the dealer would only cover half. I had to pay $2500 for a repair that they new was defected. I was driving on a major highway and the car stalled and i had to put flashers on to keep cars from hitting me. This is a safety issue for anyone who still owns this truck. I now have another $750 bill to repair the fuel sending unit that went out after recall mileage expired. They know it's a problem and should fix it when it happens. |
