I REPLACED MY TRANSMISSION SOON AFTER TEH CAR WAS PAID FOR AND WAS SURPRISED AFTER TAKING EXCELLENT CARE OF THE CAR. ALMOST A YEAR HAD PAST AND THE USED TRANSMISSION THAT I REPLACED THE FIRST ON WITH HAS TURNED OUT BAD AS WELL. I THINK THAT CONSUMERS HAVE BEEN CHEATED BECAUSE THESE CARS ARE NOT BEING MADE ANY MORE AND THE COMPANY SEEMS TO NOT CARE ABOUT FUTURE CONSUMERS.*AK
