First the drive shaft went at about 90000 miles and now the PTU unit has to be replaced. Had reported transmission problems from when I first bought the vehicle (new 26 miles). Was told that there was no read out as to any problems. Complained to dealership that shifting was slow. Told me that the mechanic said he could not find anything wrong. Lived with it. The vehicle has had 3 injectors replaced at once, front hub bearings replaced, rear lid latching mechanism replaced, ABS sensor assembly replaced, power train control module replaced. THINK THIS CAR MIGHT BE A LEMON?????

We were experiencing a burning smell that we thought was oil dripping on the engine. I took my car to the dealership where I purchased my pre-owned vehicle and was just called and told it was actually the axle seals that were leaking. They have ordered replacement parts for my car and I should be able to pick it up tomorrow.

I have taken my car into the dealership time and time again. It has sorta become a jike, everytime I take my car in for the oil change-I learn the seal is leaking. They have replace the seals numerous times, today I here that I will be getting an entire new axel. Now, when do you think they will getting around to fixing the transmission?
