Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | This transmission malfunctioned at less than 60,000. We have driven this van very little and the transmission had to be replaced. I am not sure this is considered a safety issue but it is an injustice. The company knows the transmission is no good, but they continue to manufacture them with the same problems. They don't cover them under the warranty either. *ak |
