| Description of the problem | I was driving to a local city pool and the car appeared to lose power. I restarted the car and reached the pool. When i went to start the car, it wouldnt start. Thinking it might be the battery, i had someone try to jump start it but nothing happened. Had my car towed to a local mechanic the following morning and learned that the transmission would need to be replaced as the radiator fluid had mixed with the transmission fluid due to a faulty sensor. Now i have a perfectly nice vehicle that wont run unless i pay to have the transmission and radiator replaced. I just bought it in february 2014. It is not covered under the class action suit because it has 144,000 miles on it. |
