| Description of the problem | As i was pulling out onto a busy street the transmission slipped and my two small sons and i nearly got nailed by angry oncoming traffic that honked, yelled, and inappropriately gestured at us to get out of the way. We could have been seriously injured as well as others. This happened more times than i can even remember. It also shudders and slips while driving at 40-50 mph. It is dangerous! Why doesn't anyone do something! I had been trying to figure out the problem since 65,000 miles and at 80,300 miles we found trani fluid in the radiator. After googling the issue and learning that it was a part a of a classaction suit i was pissed that i hadn't been notified. I am a struggling mother of two and i am still paying for a car that i haven't been able to drive for the last year because i can't afford to fix it! I feel this is unacceptable and there should be a recall in place!!!! Lives are being endangered! |
