There is something wrong with my transmission. I had it serviced as required at the appropriate time. I filled out the above questionaire as much as I could. I contacted NHTSA and they told me to file a complaint by filing out this questionaire. I hope you will look into this problem. I don't have very many miles on this car. The transmission should not need major work or replaced. Thank you-
