| Description of the problem | My car started shuttering when it was trying to change gears and when i took it to the dealership they informed me that the radiator was leaking coolant and it got into the transmission contaminating the transmission therefore i need a new radiator and transmission. I have a power train warranty which covers the transmission but not the radiator and because the radiator was the cause of the transmission going bad the warranty won't pay to replace the transmission either. After investigating this has been a known problem with this year, make and model and people are getting ripped off. If this has been an ongoing problem why wouldn't it have been a recall. I am disgusted with the entire matter and think it needs to be addressed so people don't continue to get ripped off. I am hoping they come through and replace mine for free. |
