  • Automatic transmission

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Transmission died at 70,000 miles, with no warning, causing brakes and other components of the car to fail, nearly causing an accident on a major thoroughfare. The car was smoking all the way home and I barely made it. I was shaking by the time I got out of my car.
