BEGINNING AROUND 25,000 MILES I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE AN INTERMITTENT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHERE WHEN THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE THE ENGINE WOULD ACCELERATE BUT NO POWER WAS TRANSFER TO THE TRANSMISSION AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ENGAGE AND THE CAR WOULD LURCH FORWARD. DESPITE THIS COMPLAINT AND 3 TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP AT 28,000, 41,000, AND 52,000 THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE OR FIX THE PROBLEM. AT 58,000 THE TRANSMISSION EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE.
