| Description of the problem | I was driving one morning and at the front of my neighborhood is a hill. I had to stop and wait for traffic so that i could go. Once i put my foot on the gas i couldn't go anywhere, the engine just revved. So i had to back all the back to my house. My husband is a mechanic and told me it was the transmission. We have now found out what the problem was being that the coolant is getting into the transmission and ruined it. Now, at the time i find that there was a settlement, my vehicle has over the 100,000 mile limit. From what i read, the majority of the vehicles are over the 100,000 mile limit when the problem occurs. Something needs to be done about this because it could cause a fatality if you are driving and suddenly can't go anywhere fast enough and get hit! |
