Flashing od light at 68800mi, transmision began slamming into gear. Codes indicated bad torque converter, dealer service would not rebuild due to burnt transmision fluid. Replacement cost $2100. Waranty only 10000/90days. Aamco rebuilt transmision for $1750. 50000/3yr waranty. Another torque converter failure with only 2000 miles, hmmm. Third failure due to a faulty locking ring. 1000 miles with no failures so far.
