    - WEST CHESTER, PA

    THE FIRST TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 55000 MILES AND WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE SECOND TRANSMISSION IS FAILING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE SECOND TRANSMISSION ONLY HAS 35000 MILES. BOTH TRANSMISSIONS FAILED LONG BEFORE THEY SHOULD NEED REPLACING. I FEEL THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR THAT IS CAUSING THE TRANSMISSIONS TO FAIL. I SHOULDNT HAVE TO PAY FOR POOR MANUFACTURING, DEFECTIVE REPLACEMENT PARTS OR INCOMPETENT WORK.*AK
