"We were driving down the road and all of the sudden the car made a loud roaring noise like someone was mashing the accelerator to the floor. the transmission seemed like it did not know what gear it was in hence going from 50 mph to 30 rapidly could have caused a serious accident."

What To Do Next

  1. 1
    Check for recalls on YOUR VIN

    Go to nhtsa.gov/recalls and enter your VIN. Free repairs if your vehicle is covered.

  2. 2
    Get a proper diagnosis

    A code alone doesn't tell you the exact failed part. A diagnostic at a shop ($50-$150) pinpoints the root cause before you spend money on parts.

  3. 3
    Compare repair quotes

    Get 2-3 quotes. Dealer vs independent shop prices often differ 30-50% for the same repair.
