I'm obviously not a mechanic, n don't know too much bout this stuff, but it just don't sound right to me. But, since I don't know anything about cars, I'm just gonna put my faith into this guy n see what happens.

Who has the car...As in what shop

Parson's Automotive.

Never heard of them.......Was hoping that Ceicls on Goodman road did not have it. They are scam artist for sure

I was planning in taking it to who Rees n Spideychick said, cause it wasn't too far, but when the guy said he didn't think it was the tranny, that canceled that out. I looked em up online, n they had a 5 star rating...so hopefully those stars mean something, n I ain't bein taken for a ride.

you got that right. she would have never got out that cheap....

Barbie.....sometimes when a battery goes bad it will kill your alternator.....and your alternator does more than just recharge the battery.....now days with all the electrical stuff on these vehicles.....its powering everything thats electric on the car.

Ahhh. Thank u G. Like I said, alot I don't know, but I'm learning.

Never can tell about these new vehicles. Friend of mine had a F-150 and transmissions was giving him troubles. Come to find out it was spark plugs, go figure.
