2003 TL-S tranny DEAD

Took TL in for service and the new tranny is now on order. VIN # 34685. It started downshifing on its own and I took it in for the 7500 mile service. This really bites.

Ouch. That sucks. They said some 2003's were affected. Hopefully they'll get the new tranny for you ASAP......

Does the owner link say you are covered under the warrantee extension? If so you may be in for a ride

That's like a double wammy. That really sux man. Here's hoping they get your car back together for good this time

edit: Oh and talk to client services and get that tranny extension for free. Now that it has happened they ought to give you that extension.

They'll cover you! I can't imagine they won't upto 100k. If the tranny is defective, then its defective! My car is an early 2003 so maybe mine is affected as well. We'll see.

That's exactly where my first failure happened. Very scary. I missed the jersey wall only by a hair :wow:

BTW - We are trying to spark another Mass meet, you up for it?

Well, I feel your pain. I have a 2002 TL and its on its 3rd transmission.

Looks like they don't have the tranny issue fixed based on your new 2003 TL.

Yup my car saw the light of day on 4 transmissions (3 failures). After the last failure just this past friday the car was lemoned on the following monday (just a few days ago).

I'm in the process of getting a new one at no cost.

From pianoman's post:
I propose Sunday, November 24th in the Natick mall area, since that gives us lots of options for parking lots, food and bars. Plus it's central(ish) to MA, RI, NH and CT.
