Started off w/$649 to replace gearshift control cables to fix the problem w/my PT Cruiser coming out of 5th gear. Picked car up, messed up less than 2 mi out of the shop. Took it back the next week, they supposedly looked at it and recommended that we either rebuild or replace the transmission. We chose a replacement given that it was less expensive. Picked up the car after the 1st replacement...popped out of 5th less than 6 hours after getting it. Had to call back the next morning (a Sat). Took it back to get looked at again the next week. They comped the replacement of the replacement transmission plus the rental. Picked it up on 10-26 (Fri) right before 5 pm. Had it a few hours and 3rd and 4th gears started whining (my car had NEVER done this at all before). Around 5 pm on Sat, it popped out of 5th again. Had to wait to call Monday (10-29). Spoke to Wendy who was less than nice this time (of course, they already had $1900 of my money) and she said to bring it in Tuesay. I had to get some errands done (close to home). Got in the car and it sounded like it was going to fall apart. 1st gear had grinding and whining and as I shifted into other gears (being careful and easy with it), it sounded horrible. I was afraid to drive it. Took it to Ace Transmissions and upon looking, the ground cable wire wasn't connected to transmission AND it was dripping transmission fluid. AND upon further inspection after the transmission was pulled, Transmission Corp NEVER even replaced the transmission once, let alone twice.
I am now almost 32 weeks pregnant (this started when I was about 28 weeks along) and they have knowingly put myself, my unborn son, my 5 year old son AND my husband in danger by misrepresenting what they were going to do to my car and letting me drive off from their lot three different times with a car that could have had a seized transmission at any time! Please do not risk your safety AND your money with these dishonest people!!!
