Transmission gave out at around 120,000 miles. Had a new transmission put in, but that too gave out just with barely 6,000 miles put on it!! What a pain to deal with!!
The car was nice when I first bought it, but now that it has given me major problems (transmission)...I hate it! Should have just purchased a Honda or Toyota!
How many miles did you expect to get out of your first transmission??? What are your driving habits? who installed the second tranny? Didn't they warranty their workmanship or product? Maybe we should do a review on your driving habits. I'm thinking you might not be as good as you think.
I agree with above statement: maybe your driving habits should be in question. Or, maybe you should tell us if you have ever had your transmission flushed and new fluid added. Or better yet, whether or not you had even checked your transmission fluid during the 120,000 miles. They are some key factors in making sure that your automatic transmission has enough adequate fluid to shift properly.
As for the second transmission, was it new or rebuilt? Maybe do some research into that and find out if they were licensed mechanics who installed it.
People are so quick to jump to the defense of foreign cars. I bet if this person was talking about a Chevy transmission going out at 120000 miles you wouldn't defend it at all! Who is REALLY running this website? I see a lot of bias here. Don't bother telling me how I'm wrong, because I've owned Toyota, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Honda, and Nissan and I've had to do work on all of them (and yes I do proper and routine maitenance on my cars). Foreign cars are not better. My opinion is from personal experience; not what a magazine or commercial told me to believe.
