: the contact stated while slowing down to 15 mph, the transmission shifted into first gear and would not shift out of that gear. A clunking noise was heard and the vehicle would not accelerate over 20 mph. It was driven to the dealer who determined the transmission needed to be rebuilt and a repair kit needed to be added.
