Description of the problem | While driving south on i75, i had noticed that my o/d light had started to flash. The car seemed okay, but the o/d continued to flash. I was in the process of passing a truck with an eighteen wheeler right behind me and all kinds of stuff started to happen. The speedometer quit working. Then the battery and oil light came on. Once that happen, the engine completely died. After calling stepps and having my car towed to my mechanic, he advised me that i had burned up the transmission. Something blew inside the transmission which caused a fuse to blow and this cause the motor to turn off. My mechanic advised me to look into this because he recalls this happening to another client. He has given me a couple of different costs rainging from $1800 on up. I am shocked to read all of the posts from different people who have had the same issue. I have 123,000 miles on my car and am surprised this different happen sooner. Something needs to be done about this.*ak |
