Complaint Summary
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Owner Narrative
THE REACTION SHELL BROKE IN THE TRANSMISSION, DISABLING THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THIS CAUSED MY WIFE WHO WAS DRIVING IT TO ESSENTIALLY STALL OUT. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS HURT, BUT THE REPAIRS TO A VEHICLE WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE TOTALED OVER $2200.00. MIGHTY POOR QUALITY. THANKFULLY THE FAILURE DID NOT TAKE PLACE WHILE SHE WAS PASSING SOMEONE, OR GOING UPHILL.*AK
