I PURCHASED VEHICLE IN SEP 2015. THE VERY 1ST WEEK DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I RECEIVED A TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION CODE ALMOST EVERY TIME I'M DRIVING AND PICKING UP SPEED WHICH ORIGINATED WHEN 1ST PURCHASED @ 57K MILES.

I TOLD THEM ABOUT OUR PREVIOUS WAR…

Owner report 11005967 · 2017-07-17 (July 17, 2017)
I PURCHASED THIS CAR SECOND-HAND AFTER NOTING THAT IT HAD AN EXTENSIVE DEALER SERVICE HISTORY AND HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY.

CERTAIN PRODUCTION DATES HAVE BEEN GIVEN AN EXTENDED LIMITED WARRANTY - MINE DID NOT. THE MANUFACTURER DID A "CUSTOMER CARE PACKAGE" VOLUNTARY RECALL, WHICH WAS PERFORMED ON MY CAR BUT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM.
