  POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

  AT 500 MILES WE ENCOUNTERED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS A DEALERSHIP IN TEMECULA CA. CARRIAGE MOTORS KEPT OUR CAR FOR TWO DAYS AND ADVISED THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED. WE ENCOUNTER THE SAME PROBLEM AT 1240 MILES. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO HARDIN BUICK. WE WERE ADVISED THAT THEY WERE SENDING THE TRANSMISSION TO BUICK AND THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS BEING SENT TO THEM BY BUICK. THIS WOULD TAKE FROM A WEEK TO TEN DAYS. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR FOR MORE TIME THAN WE HAVE USED IT. WE DO NOT WANT A CAR WITH A TRANSMISSION WE CAN'T RELY ON. HAVE YOU HAD ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT REGAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS?*AK
