| Description of the problem | Car hesitates going into gear, very rough shifting (it is an automatic). Very dangerous at intersections and on highway- cannot drive it. Brought in for service. When mechanic attempted to flush the transmission, it was discovered that the radiator fluid has been leaking into the transmission. Class action lawsuit filed on this complaint, reimbursement only up to 100,000 miles or 10 years, whatever is less, and only costs above 3000k covered! This is at least a $5200k repair job and that may not event remedy all components that may have been affected. Additional problem is that my mileage was 5k over what the lawsuit allows. There was no way to know when this problem even started occurring. |
