I've spent the last few days reading and reading about problems these cars have but bought one anyways.
He is some background first.
Owned car: 2 days
Miles: 63,000
Type: 2006 2dr cpe limited w/auto
Warranty: Carchex deluxe (almost B-t-B) 4yr/60,000
Extra: I think I got most of it.
Location: Sunny southern UT
So here is why I are writing, I have a little issue so far and it sounds like a common issue (or not?). I backed up my car then put it into drive and took off like a bat outta hell and it just maxed the RPM's and seemed like it wouldn't leave 2nd gear. Shut the car off and it went away. Later on I pulled out of my garage and didn't get on it really and same thing. Shut the car down and problem solved. There was one other time that it seem to start is when I put it in drive and then played with the shifter to show 1st gear then nailed 2nd gear and that was it, it would go any further (this was the first time I have ever withnesed the issue). I'm new and now a little baffled since I have crammed so much into my brain so I thought I would post.
I called the dealership and they want $295 to change the tranny fluid and $120 for an oil change (I have no idea if it was ever done (tranny) and the last time the oil was changed). Is this high or sound ok to everyone (not a bid DIY'er here). Also should this be the first thing I try to solve the issue? I bought the warranty just incase (I worry like that) it might be something that gets worse.
Ideas, suggestions, ect........?
Last issue is where the heck do I buy a side mirror **** at? Dealership only? Does it have a part number or a specific name?
Thanks for reading and helping.
I love this little car so far, just need to work out a few bugs...........
