| Description of the problem | Purchased this vehicle for my wife, while she was driving down the freeway in rush-hour in august in phoenix, the vehicle started smoking and lost all power to the transmission, i noticed the transmission cooler had failed and sprayed fluid all over the engine,-this all happened with zero warning and no service indicator lights were activated. I towed the vehicle to my house and inspected further, called the dealership and they said at 120k i no longer qualify for a warranty covered repair even though the service department is very much aware of this problem. I'm now facing a repair by myself or pay a mechanic to fix an obvious design flaw. |
