I'm Floored
Lover of BS!
I am just SICK!
I bought a brand new car 23 months ago. Not even two years. For the record, it is only the 3rd new car I've ever owned. I drove my 1993 Thunderbird for 8 years (until motherhood called), and my 2001 Dodge Caravan for 10 years. Loved them both, and I expected to buy another car to last me until at least my 50th birthday.
Well....fast forward. From the beginning, I've had nothing but issues with my "new" car. It's a comfortable car for me to drive (I'm on the short side). It has some great luxuries (seat warmers, bluetooth, sunroof, sirius, etc.) But from the start, I've had transmission issues.
To be honest, I was afraid to say anything to my husband at first, because I thought he would think I was complaining about my new car. I thought I would "adjust" and that I just needed time to "learn" my car. But the transmission is HORRIBLE! It jerks me constantly. Sometimes on the upshift, but ALWAYS on the downshift. When I say "jerk", it is as if someone has hit me from behind. It's intense. And it happens EVERY stinkin' time I drive!!!!!!!!! Ugh!
We've had it in the shop numerous times since we bought it. Every time, we're told it is fixed, but NOPE, here we go again.
We had it towed last weekend. It wouldn't start. (Just for the record, we've had push button start issues, too, that they've never been able to "duplicate".) Well, as of today (a week into my rental) I'm getting a new transmission. Yes, it took them a week to let me know that, and every day when I called, they were still waiting for "one more test."
They've told me it will take at least a week. But they can't (read: won't) fix the "start" issue, because they can't "verify" the problem! Excuse me? "VERIFY?" I guess I'm just making all this UP!
And I'm over the "consumer advocate" assigned to my case. She has returned only 2 of my over a dozen calls, and each time, her comment is, "Tell me what's going on with your car." I guess I expect too much, because my understanding is that SHE should tell me what's going on with my car!
Now, I'm researching this problem on line and finding there are NUMEROUS complaints about no-start and transmissions issues in my make and model of car. I guess my next google search will be with Georgia's lemon law.
