| Description of the problem | Vehicle has 116,567 miles developed a squeaking noise at 40 / 60 mph. After bringing in to dealer was advised the cvt chain was slipping and only thing that could be done is purchase a new transmission or vehicle. The transmission replacement was at a cost of 7900 dollars and no other option was provided to improve safety in the vehicle. I made numerous attempts to have soa provide details on what maintenance could be done to to protect/extend the life cycle of the failing transmission or if the transmission could be rebuilt to improve safe operation. Soa response continues to be they will discuss a loyalty program for a new lease or car but the only option is to replace the transmission entirely. |
