Nar 2/10/2003. The vehicle required transmission replacement after only 32,000 miles. When the vehicle was service at 29,566 the mechanic noted that oil was in the transmission and therefore they would not honor the warranty. The consumer had the repairs done by a independent mechanic who found that the bearing on the transfershaft was falling apart, burning the transmission fluid which caused the brown color. The left front window would not roll up.

In December, 2000, with only 5000 miles on the car, the transmission locked up and needed to be towed back to the dealer. Since then, the car has had nothing but transmission troubles. The transmission has gotten stuck in 2nd gear while out on the high way. When slowing down, it has suddenly jerked into first gear, causing the car to not accelerate. It has jerked into 2nd gear, feeling like the car has been rear ended. Each time it has been back to the dealer, they can find nothing wrong with the car. Presently, at 45,000 miles, it is getting another new transmission.
