It should run forever with a new transmission. Do you still have the seat covers?I was aware of the reports of abnormally high reports of 2000 the transmission failures before it happened. But not before purchasing. Other than that was a great vehicle. Only other issue was driver's power door lock not working when it was hot.
It was when and where it failed why it was it doomed to moved on to another owner. Friday night in November and it was snowing. Couple miles short of SR-87 coming out of Camp Verde vehicle had a sudden shudder. Turned on SR-87 heading north the transmission completely failed before reaching FS road 300. Cell service is spotty in that area. Got lucky and walked a short distance and was able to call AAA and my neighbor to pick up my wife and mom. Tow truck and neighbor arrived just as a ADOT supervisor was telling me vehicle had to be moved for snow plows. Could have been much worse but my wife was never going to trust that vehicle again.
