A MONTH OR SO AFTER BUYING MY CAR (USED) IT STARTED TO STRUGGLE GOING UP HILL. AS TIME WENT ON THE STRUGGLE UPHILL TURNED INTO STALLING. THEN IT PROGRESSED TO EXTREME DIFFICULTY GETTING UP TO SPEED WHEN JUST GETTING ON THE FREEWAY. SOON IT STARTED TO OVER HEAT IF DRIVEN LONGER THAN AN HOUR. WITH ALL OF THE ISSUES PUT TOGETHER IT HA BECOME VERY STRESSFUL AND SCARY TO DRIVE. WE TOOK IT INTO THE MECHANIC AND HE DISCOVERED THE SMOOTH TRANSITION TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY AND CAUSES THE CAR TO OVERHEAT. HE SAID IT WAS A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION DROPS. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE TAKING MY FAMILY ANYWHERE IN THE CAR. BETWEEN THE SLUGGISHNESS, STALLING, OVERHEATING AND TRANSMISSION MY CAR IS A TICKING TIME BOMB. IF ANY OF THIS HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY MY FAMILY AND POSSIBLY OTHERS COULD GET SEVERELY INJURED. I HAVE LOOKED UP ONLINE AND FOUND MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE.
