Incident: October 12, 2012 · Filed: October 8, 2013

THE 2012 LANCER RALLIART WAS PURCHASED NEW. IT IS EQUIPPED WITH A TC-SST(TWIN CLUTCH- SPORTRONIC SHIFT TRANSMISSION). AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER OWNING THE VEHICLE, IT CONSTANTLY "SLIPS" INTO GEAR. WHETHER THE CAR IS IN AUTOMATIC MODE, OR IN MANUAL MODE. THE SOUNDS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD CONSTANTLY MAKE ME CRINGE. AT TIME OF FAILURE, I WAS DRIVING 55-60 MPH. AT A STEADY CRUISE IN 6TH GEAR (AUTOMATIC MODE) THE CLUTCH RANDOMLY ENGAGED, DISENGAGED. IT THEN SLIPPED IN AND OUT OF GEAR LIKE A COMPUTER WITH A VIRUS WAS OPERATING THE CAR. I THEN CREEPED TO A STOP FOLLOWED BY A "SERVICE TRANSMISSION REQUIRED" ALERT ON MY DISPLAY. I THEN LIMPED MY CAR HOME, CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS UNDERGOING A FULL $13,000 TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. CAR CURRENTLY HAS 32,XXX MILES. *TR
