Reported at 45,271 miles, April 2009 Fire

The vehicle has had a problem with the transmission slipping off and on for about a year. Aamco couldn't detect a problem without a check engine light. The light came on in february 2005. The vehicle needed a sensor replaced and there was a error on the transmission also. A complete fluid replacement was done and a conditioner added hoping that this would cure the problem. On june 1 the light came on and the slipping occurred again.
