My van has 82000 miles and has always been taken care of, driven with ease and great care. I cannot understand why all of a sudden the transmission is going out. It slips from the minute I put into reverse to back out of the drive way and slips off and on just driving down the road. I now no longer can drive this vehicle. I am just amazed how this can happen overnight and am really saddened by the loss of my van due to the fact that I cannot afford to fix it. I think 82000 miles is to short of a life for a transmission!!

This has been a great vehicle the entire time that I have owned it. Only regular maintenance and there were two recalls that were repaired as they came up. This morning after driving half a block and stopping at a stop sign it was as though the car had slipped into neutral. I put the car in park and then back into Drive and it was fine, at least until the next stop sign. Again same problem, this time I just put my foot on the brake and let it idle and you could feel it go into gear. No loud noise, or grinding, it just went into gear. Then it was fine the rest of the day. Brought it in and was told that there were a few leaks. The pan was leaking, some solenoid was leaking and then they had to tighten some clamps on two hoses. Needless to say, they called me up and informed me that it would cost $680 plus taxes. So $800 to fix a couple of leaks. Hopefully this is the only problem I have for a while, knock on wood!!
