| Description of the problem | My vehicle quit driving in the middle of traffic. It would only idle when i pressed the accelerator. I was notified that my radiator had an internal leak and the coolant was mixing with my transmission fluid which caused my transmission to shut down. I was notified when searching for a radiator, that this has been a common problem with the vehicles and is documented with complaints all over the internet. I am currently a nursing student, and i do not think it is fair that i must pay for repairs that are not my fault when i am not able to afford them. This has been an extremely costly repair and i have been forced to take out a loan to get my vehicle repaired so i will have transportation to school. |
