At 100,500 miles the car just quit. I had to bring it back home limping, 1 gear for 1 mile then rest for 20 minutes, then 1 mile more and so on for 35 miles. The transmission was running perfectly , I parked, went in to see my daughter and grand babies for approx 30 minutes and when I went back out to the car it was like this, no kidding, started it up and it was slipping like crazy.
I got quotes from everywhere because there was no way I could afford the dealerships outrageous prices of over 3 grand. Got quotes from Local mechanic's here and they were from $2300 to to $2700. None wanted to mess with trying to fix it, they just wanted to replace it. I ended up getting another transmission and replacing it.
I have had many other issues like this with this car, another just arrived. P2004 this after the transmission is in and running TODAY. Intake runner Valve! REALLY? !! also this car has had 3 alternators in it already counting the original and this last one now. all these problems with zero help, no warranty. The alternator is some kinda screwy new invention crap that is designed to free wheel in the case that the car does not absolutely need to have it running by way of some special bearings on the pulley. well they are flawed, thank GOD I bought the lifetime warranty one from auto zone and I have the ability to do it myself because the dealership wants $800 for the job! Have to list this in another window, I just read that. So look for more from me. Paint, pcv, intake runner valve, intake manifold, electrical NIGHTMARE, no manual for this till Aug 2014. Rear wheels non adjustable set at the factory WRONG so its wearing the tires out, gas shocks on the trunk and more.
