POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER
TRANSMISSION FAILURE EXPERIENCED AS SOON AS THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED. I TOLD THE FACILITY WHERE I TOOK THE VAN THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDED REPLACING, THEY DID EVERYTHING TO THE TRANSMISSION BUT THAT. I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK AND HAVE THAT DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. MY BILL WAS $1,593.44. I HAPPENED TO SEARCH THE INTERNET AND SAW THE DIFFICULTIES EXPERIENCED WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS, SO WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY MONEY BACK. *AK
