From 12,000 miles to present mileage, the vehicle had three transmissions replaced within five years, and the problem is reoccurring. Dealer notified. The driver side front coil spring had broken. (recalled in November/NHTSA#01I00700)-was checked. The mechanics had placed a plastic sleeve over coils, and the spring had broken through and punctured the tire at 5 mph. The overdrive and engine light had come on. The mechanics said that something inside of the transmission was bad.
