problem #1

May 162005

9-5 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,000 miles
Transmission died at 70,000 miles, with no warning, causing brakes and other components of the car to fail, nearly causing an accident on a major thoroughfare. The car was smoking all the way home and I barely made it. I was shaking by the time I got out of my car.
