AT 110K MY CAR STALLED. MID SUMMER 2020 I STARTED MY CAR IT BEGAN TO DRIVE THEN STOPPED MOVING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON LIBERTY ST IN SPFLD, MASSACHUSETTS. I HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT OF THE ROAD INTO THE CUMBERLAND FARMS THAT WAS TO THE LEFT FRONT OF ME. MY CAR WOULD START UP BUT THERE WAS NO POWER WHEN…
ONLY A 103K AN ENGINE BEGAN TO MAKE A WHINING SOUND AND THEN JUST SLIPPING. DROVE IT THIS WAY FOR TWO WEEKS AND THEN IT WOULDN'T START REMOVE AT ALL. HAD TO SINK IN $3,000 FOR A USED TRANSMISSION. A NEW ONE WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER $4,000! EVEN MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT.
