| Description of the problem | The first incident occurred 8/22/2012. The transmission went out. The car would not drive and would rev. Had to be towed. Bearings in the transmission were replaced. 9/22/12. The transmission went out again. Was going up hill and the transmission would rev and not click into gear. Had to have the car towed 200 miles back home. Was told by the dealership my transmission blew up. They replaced. The transmission. Got it back. Still wasn't driving right it was vibrating and making a noise. I insisted it was not correct took them a week to figure out that one of the engine mounts sheared off because they threaded the engine wrong when they put my engine back after replacing the transmission. |
