#766433August 29, 2002
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN EXHIBING SOME SHIFTING PROBLEMS A FEW DAYS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. WHEN IT FAILED, IT WOULD NOT SHIFT UP TO 3RD GEAR. I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR AROUND TO HEAD TO THE DEALER AND WAS MOMENTARILY UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT ENGAGE. AFTER ABOUT 5 TRIES I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE AND LIMPED THE CAR TO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT WHERE I WAITED FOR A TOW TRUCK. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE SERIOUS. I HAVE HEARD OF PEOPLE WITH A CL OR TL (SAME TRANSMISSION) THAT HAVE HAD THEIR TRANSMISSION FAIL WHEN DOING 60+ MPH AND IT SHIFTS DOWN INTO 2ND WITHOUT WARNING. VERY DANGEROUS!*AK
