| 2000 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | CAR WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION, TAKEN CARE OF AS NEEDED. ALWAYS OIL CHANGES ETC. GOT OFF OF WORK ONE DAY, CAR DOES NOT GO INTO REVERSE. WILL GO FORWARDS, NOT IN REVERSE. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION, A $6000 FIX. FOUND A WEBSITE WITH OVER 100 SIMILAR INCIDENTS. *TR |
| 2003 | STRUCTURE:BODY | DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN, EITHER WITH THE INSIDE DOOR LATCH OR THE OUTSIDE LATCH. THE LOCK PLUNGER GOES UP AND DOWN NORMALLY WITH EITHER THE KEY, THE KEY REMOTE, OR THE INSIDE DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON, BUT IN NO CASE CAN EITHER DOOR LATCH OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. ALL OTHER DOORS OPERATE NORMALLY. THIS MAKES ENTERING OR EXITING THE CAR DIFFICULT, NECESSITATING EITHER CLIMBING IN/OUT THROUGH THE WINDOW OR BY CLIMBING ACROSS THE CONSOLE FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT. IF THERE WERE AN EMERGENCY, IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY. NO EVENT APPEARED TO CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. I ENTERED THE VEHICLE, DROVE IT, EXITED THE VEHICLE A FEW TIMES DURING THE MORNING BEFORE DRIVING, PARKING, STOPPING THE VEHICLE, AND THEN HAVING THE DOOR STICK SHUT. *TR |
