POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION STARTED HAVING A LOUD RATTLE WHEN CHECKED OUT CAR IS LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID AND WILL NEED TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. I DO NOT FEEL THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD GO OUT IN 59,000 MILES. I ALSO FEEL THAT THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE FOUND THAT THE CAR WAS LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE 2 TIMES THAT I HAD THE VEHICLE IN, THIS WAS VERY OBVIOUS PROBLEM IF THEY HAD CHECKED IT OUT PROPERLY.
