| Description of the problem | As i was driving the vehicle on the highway it started to shudder and shake and then finally completely turned off on the highway. Once i got it started again it would only go about 20mph i was able to move over to the shoulder and exit the highway. Once we took the car to the dealer, they told us that the radiator had leaked into the transmission and also that i needed to replace two catalyctic converters. The total repairs and replacements would cost me $8000 as i would also need to replace the transmission and radiator. We replaced the radiator but of course that is only half the problem. I still owe about $13k on the vehicle, have only had it for 8 months and am now stuck because i dont have the money to replace the transmission and i cant get rid of the truck knowing this problem. |
