Description of the problem | i recently was driving home from sacramento when my car stopped driving on the freeway.... Luckily i was able to pull off to the side and call for help... The car was still running and the rpm's were going up, but would not drive or reverse. I had no idea what the problem was especially since i had just had the second inspection service on the car on 4/10/2007 at the cost of $850. The car had not been driving funny, no lights had come on, nothing was abnormal. Aaa took my car to mini of sacramento dealer where i had to leave it over night (the service department was no longer open) and check myself into a hotel. I called the next morning and they said because i did not have an appointment they would be able to take the car on an emergency basis and take a look at it around 5:00 pm. I was called later that day and told the car needed a new transmission and it will cost $7,500... The car has roughly 59,000 miles on it. Updated 02-21-08 *bf |
