Transaxle is an axod model that had the forward piston and seal fail, resulting in severe slippage when attempting to accelerate from a stop. This problem appears to be prevalent in this transaxle, and has been known to ford since at least 1994 (see tsb 94-24-7). The axod came with an aluminum piston, now replaced with a steel one. The problem is the huge cost to the consumer to repair, and the inherent safety concern of the tranaxle slipping as you try to merge or turn onto a road with heavy traffic.
