Transmission started slipping on o/d. It has progressed to third gear now. A transmission overhaul is needed but will cost about $3,000.00.

I bought this car used and didn't research on it first. Big mistake. Had problems with transmission noise, slippage and/or gear shift hesitation, and engaging from park. Most mechanics won't even work on these because of frequent problems. Had to track on down, says transmission must be rebuilt, approx. Repair cost = $1500.00, wondering where I'm going to come up with that kind of money.

Transmission slippage eventual failure - replaced $1500.00 - corrected problem transmission started slipping while on highway in front of two 18-wheelers - I almost caused a fatality with my wife and daughter on board - thank god for my driving experience - if my wife was driving we would not be here. * transmission repair shop explained he has 3 shelves set aside for these transmissions (gf4a-el) where the old ones sit until the new ones come in - that shelve was 1/2 full of new and old transmissions. These transmissions are also used in the ford probe's. Now after two years the transmission is slipping again.

Automatic transmission slips when accelerating from standing start. Dangerous when pulling out in front of oncoming traffic. Estimated cost of repair is $2,400. Company refuses to pay under terms of extended warranty because it is six months out of date.
