problem #1

May 102009

9-3 ARC 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 75,000 miles

Actually the transmission failed twice. Second time not under warranty. First time the coolant couplings failed and coolant leaked into he gearbox, fouling and ruining the gears. Second time the valve bodies failed. $3500 to fix and a month of down time because transmission shop dithered.
