On or around June 1, 2004, after Plaintiff again observed his vehicle was leaking transmission fluid, Plaintiff communicated his problem to Faulkner and Faulkner communicated to Plaintiff that for the approximate sum of $2,400.00 they could replace Plaintiffs transmission. 27. Faulkner has a place of business at 2060 Paxton Street, Harrisburg, P A 17105. 28. On or around June 1, 2004, after communicating with Faulkner, Plaintiff asked Cottman Transmission (on the Carlisle Pike) for a refund of $2,400.00 and Plaintiff explained that he would take that money to Faulkner and pay Faulkner to replace his transmisssion. 29. On or around June 1, 2004, Cottman Transmission refused to refund to Plaintiff any money. 30. On or around June 2, 2004 Plaintiff, for the third time, took his truck back to the Defendants complaining of the following: 1. That the transmission fluid was sti111eaking; 11. That the transmission cooler made the engine overheat; and 111. That the torque converter caused the engine to lose too much power. 6 31. On June 3, 2004, because he did not have his vl~hicle, Plaintiff missed going on a job which would have been at least as far as Maryland to S1. Louis, Missouri - or 951 miles 1 way and 1,902 miles round trip. 32. For this "Missouri" job, Plaintiff would have been paid $1.10 per mile or' $1,046.1 O. 33. For 2004, the Internal Revenue Service recognized a standard mileage rate of$.375 per mile. 34. In consideration of Plaintiff not being able to perform the "Missouri" job, Plaintiff suffered lost profit at least in the amount of $332.85 (($1,046.10) minus (1,902 miles x $.375, or $713.25) = $332.85)). 35. On or around June 9, 2004 Plaintiff got his truck back from Cottman Transmission. 36. On or around June 11, 2004 Plaintiff observed that his truck was still leaking fluid. 37. On or around June 11, 2004, after observing that his vehicle was still not working properly, Plaintiff again asked Cottman Transmission (on the Carlisle Pike) for a refund of $2,400.00 and again explained that he would take that money to Faulkner and pay Faulkner to replace his transmission. 38. Cottman Transmission (on the Carlisle Pike) again refused to refund any money to Plaintiff. 7 39. On or around June 11, 2004 Plaintiff telephoned Cottman Transmission Systems, LLC. and asked if they could refund the $2,400.00 or direct that Cottman Transmission on the Carlisle Pike refund the $2,400.00. 40. Cottman Transmission Systems, LLC. told Plaintiff they were not going to refund $2,400.00 to Plaintiff. 41. Cottman Transmission Systems, LLC. also told Plaintiff they were not going to intervene in the dispute between Plaintiff and Cottman Transmission (on the Carlisle Pike) and that basically, the decision whether or not to refund money to Plaintiff would be solely in the discretion of Cottman Transmission on the Carlisle Pike. 42. On June 11, 2004, because he did not have his vehicle, Plaintiff missed going on a job which would have been at least as far as New Jersey to Gary, Indiana - or 778 miles 1 way and 1,556 miles round trip. 43. For this "Indiana" job, Plaintiff would have bt;~en paid $1.00 per mile or $778.00. 44. In consideration of Plaintiff not being able to perform the "Indiana" job, Plaintiff suffered lost profit at least in the amount of $194.50 (($778.00) minus (1,556 miles x $.375, or $583.75) = $194.50)). 45. On or around June 14 Plaintiff took his truck to Faulkner Honda and paid $2,573.85 to have his transmission replaced. 8 46. On or around June 17, 2004, Plaintiff received his vehicle back from Faulkner. 47. Later on June 17, 2004 when Plaintiff was driving his vehicle he observed that transmission fluid was flowing out of his engine at a rapid rate. The vehicle became inoperable. 48. On or around June 18, 2004 Plaintiff took his vehicle back to Faulkner. 49. Faulkner told Plaintiff that the transmission cooler lines were recently cut and then fastened back together using compression rings. Once Plaintiffs transmission was working properly the pressure which built up was too great for the compression rings to handle and the resulting explosion simply caused the transmission fluid to flow unimpeded out of the engine. 50. On or around June 18, 2004 Faulkner installed m~w transmission cooler lines (not fastened together with compression rings) in the vehicle. 51. Plaintiff paid $326.26 to Faulkner for the new transmission cooler lines. 52. At all relevant times after June 18, 2004, Plaintiffs vehicle operated properly. 53. When Plaintiffs truck broke down on June 17, 2004 he was on a job from Pennsylvania to Maryland for which he was to be paid $120.00 and for which he was to travel 170 miles round trip from Pennsylvania to Maryland and back again. 9 54. In consideration of Plaintiff not being able to perform the "Maryland" job, Plaintiff was not paid anything for this job. 55. Plaintiffs lost profit for the "Maryland" job was $120.00 less $63.75 (170 miles times $.375) or $56.25. 56. Plaintiff paid a total of$3,238.37 to Cottman Transmission. See Exhibit "A" attached hereto. 57. Plaintiffs minimum lost profit for the "Missouri" ($332.85) job, the "Indiana" ($194.50) job and the "Maryland" ($56.25) job cumulatively totals $583.60. 58. Plaintiff paid a total of $2,900.11 ($2,573.85 + $326.26) to Faulkner for proper replacement and repair of the transmission. See Exhibit "B" attached hereto for a copy of Faulkner's invoice. Pursuant to P A Rule of Civil Procedure 1305 Plaintiff intends to introduce into evidence Exhibit "B" attached hereto. 59. The warranty information provided to Plaintiff by Cottman Transmission on the Carlisle Pike can be found on page 2 of Exhibit "A" attached hereto. 60. The business cards of 2 individuals who assisted Plaintiff at Cottman Transmission located at 3600 Carlisle Pike are attached hereto as Exhibit "C". 61.

Plaintiff paid $326.26 to Faulkner for the new transmission cooler lines. 52. At all relevant times after June 18, 2004, Plaintiffs vehicle operated properly. 53.

Plaintiff in effect is alleging and will specifically allege in a second amended complaint that Cottman Transmission Systems, LLC's has breached its contractual obligations to Lawrence A. Mikos. 4. Not IDltil the afternoon of JIDle 28, 2005 did the IDldersigned receive any notice whatsoever that any of the Defendants intended to assert what is known as the "economic loss doctrine" as a basis for dismissing Plaintiff's negligence claim against all Defendants. 5. While it is not entirely clear the economic loss doctrine would preclude Plaintiff's negligence causes of action, all factors considered, the most efficient course of action to take would be to plead the relevant cause of action as a brea,;h of contract action as opposed to negligence. 6. A first amended complaint was filed on January 24, 2005. Page 1 of3 WHEREFORE. pursuant to P A Rule of Civil Procedure 1033, Plaintiff requests leave of Court to file a second amended complaint.
