What owners wrote
I was rear ended 04/20/2015 ,back injury, police report, other driver insurance taking care of bills, no settlement yet. In june, noticed transmission slip & leak in drive way. In repair shop on friday, 07/31/2015. They advised me radiator crack and transmission fluid leaked into radiator. $1,200.00 to repair all. They instructed to do so.
Car stutters when I accelerate whil going uphill between 40 and 60 miles an hour. Dealership mechanic reported that the transmission fluid had been contaminated by the radiator failing. There are 102,000 miles on the vehicle. The dealership is charging $6,100 to repair a truck that is worth less than that. The dealership says that as I am 2,000 miles past the warranty, they will not discount the price of repair, even though this is a well documented issue.
