| 1995 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL INCIDENTS WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN MY VEHICLE. AFTER YOU DRIVE THE VEHICLE LONG ENOUGH FOR IT TO WARM UP GOOD, THE TRANSMISSION WILL QUIT PULLING. YOU CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT ACTS AS IF IT JUST KICKS INTO NEUTRAL. YOU CAN PULL OVER AND PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND THEN INTO DRIVE AGAIN AND IT WILL GO A LITTLE FARTHER BEFORE IT WILL DO IT AGAIN. THE CAR HAS ONLY A LITTLE OVER 70,000 MILES ON IT AND IS NOW BASICALLY JUNK. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL MECHANICS THAT THESE CARS ALL HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND THAT REBUILDING THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T USUALLY WORK FOR VERY LONG. *TR |
