This car was POS. Aamco transmission shop is another POS. This combination is asking for nothing just a disaster. Aamco didn't want to repair my transmission within last weeks in warranty. Transmission completely died few weeks after and I ended up paying $2200 for another transmission. Lost count on how many. Third or fourth maybe.
