Re: Transmission Problems

Okay.....the saga continues. They replaced the transmission and the TCM. Japan wanted it back in the failed condition so it could be analyzed and have root cause analysis performed. Dealer put the new tranny in and it has been flawless since then. We've done about 2000 miles or so on the new tranny ...

Re: Transmission Problems

Yes, we have the CVT. Dealership says it's a TCM (transmission control module) that's gone bad. He ordered a new one and we should be back in the car in a couple days.

Transmission Problems

We just purchased a new GTS on Saturday, April 10th. On Tuesday 13th with 240 miles the service engine light came on and the car lost all power. Engine was running but going no where. Transmission issue I guess....Dealership still has the car trying to figure out what the issue is.
