POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY TRANSMISSION. I HAD IT SERVICED AS REQUIRED AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME. I FILLED OUT THE ABOVE QUESTIONAIRE AS MUCH AS I COULD. I CONTACTED NHTSA AND THEY TOLD ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT BY FILING OUT THIS QUESTIONAIRE. I HOPE YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T HAVE VERY MANY MILES ON THIS CAR. THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT NEED MAJOR WORK OR REPLACED. THANK YOU- *AK
