Engine replacement. Engine overheated back in October. Turns out it was from a failed plastic part - a water pump to the radiator. Once the car engine was replaced, the transmission started to complain and didn't work correctly, and I ended up having to have that repaired, too. Transmission had failed after new engine was installed. Had the transmission repaired by a different vendor in Silver Spring, MD. Transmission was under warranty so my costs were around $900, but total repair was over $2,000. |
