Description of the problem | I bought this car new in 2013. Few months after, the first issue appeared, it shifts to neutral while i am driving. It has put me in very dangerous situations many times. I got a recall, and fixed. After a while another issue popped up, the shift lever can be moved to d but the transmission stayed in p. Again many times i got stuck in the road, in bad situation. I had to check with a mechanic and spend around $500 to replace the shift cable. The problem was solved for few weeks, and appeared again. And then the second recall came. I took my car to the dealer (safford springfield va) and got fixed, but for 2 days only, and the problem has worsen. I called the dealer to bring the car to be checked. I was told the shift cable is ok. But why it has worsen after the shift cable was "fixed". After 2 days "service transmission" popped up. I drove my car to the same dealer and after one hour i got called to inform me that my car needs transmission replacement for $8500. It is nightmare i had with this junk. The transmission is very bad since the first day. I need to an explanation and a solution to this issue. If i don't hear from you i will rise this issue to the court. |
