hey so my car has like 21,400 miles. And since about 15k miles I've been having transmission problems (which btw the dealership says aren't there because the ten minutes they spend looking at it it looks fine, and pawn it off as me being a girl) and now starting yesterday my ac has been making a horrible noise (like something's crawled in there and died). has anyone else had any of these problems, and if so how did you fix them/ what did the dealership do to fix it.

Maryann, I have to say that I've always had prompt reliable service when I have had my smart in to the orlandosmartcenter for work. So far, I have not had any major issue with my engine/tranny or ac. I too have the extended warranty, just in case. After all it is a mechanical device with a zillion computer controls attached to it.
I always try to schedule my service visits. I make sure that the car is serviced on schedule. Maintenance can make a huge difference. If you are not getting the service you think you should be, then contact smartUSA. if you think they are putting your safety at risk, there are other agencies that can help as well.
Hope you and smart are able to get your car fixed and in good working order soon.

I'm down in florida right now tony and I can def say that service regardless is about 1000 times better than further up north....i think it all has to do with the people there are to hire....up by my house i've heard them talking about how much they hate their jobs and how it's just about the money (which apparently isn't that good for my smart dealer).........they had no idea that i was in their waiting for my car to be serviced early one morning.,,,,,,anyway moral of my story, i think it just depends on who can/does give you service and how much they truly care.

Well I got back from my dealer and I have to say I agree with Stacey. I am truly nervous about my next episode. Treatment seems to differ depending on which dealer you go to. My car does however appear to be fixed at least temporarily. Thank God I document everything!
