Component | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Just before coming to a stop vehicle would jerk violently. After stopping, when stepping on the gas pedal, there was no response at first. Then vehicle would suddenly jerk forward. Transmission had to be replaced for over $2100. We have carried no heavy loads, and we live in a level area with no mountains. Transmission had routine 36,000 mile maintenance with change of filter and fluid as recommended by manufacturer. We think this is a premature failure and a serious safety problem. We have read on the internet of many similar failures of this make, year and model transmission. *ak |
