ENGINE
WHILE SITTING AT A STOP SIGN, I DECIDED I WAS A LITTLE TO FAR INTO THE ROAD. I SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND NOTICED IT SHIFTED REALLY HARD. I PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND PULLED OUT ONTO THE ROAD - AGAIN IT SHIFTED HARD. WHEN TRYING TO SPEED UP, THE CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I COULDN'T SPEED UP. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT IS A BAD TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR. *TR

THE CALIPERS ON THE SECONDARY BRAKING SYSTEM THAT OPERATESD THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE IN THE REAR. IF THE PADS DISLODGED IT WOULD CAUSE THE WHEELS TO LOCK UP. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AROUND 10-15 TIMES. CONSUMER'S FATHER, STEVE HERMAN, HAS FILED THIS COMPLAINT ON BEHALF OF THE OWNER WHO WAS AWAY AT COLLEGE.*AK
