| Description of the problem | At higher speeds the car started shuddering / jerking when it was trying to up or downshift. At first it was not too noticeable however that changed relatively fast and he jerking was more apparent. After taking it to the dealer it was found to be a known problem with the car. The problem was a crack within the transmission oil cooler in the radiator causing intermixing between the transmission and the coolant. The dealer replaced the radiator and the transmission assembly. Since my vehicle had between 80000 and 90000 miles i was in the $2500 copay range. |
