ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
IN 1998 THE HEAD GASKET CRACKED AND WAS REPLACED THE VEHICLE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THE COST WAS 1500.00. RECENTLY THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE RICE MARKO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN GREENSBORO, NC. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. WE HAVE SEEN WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH STARTING THE CAR. WE WERE ADVISED BY A LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP THAT SPECIALIZES IN EXHAUST PROBLEMS THAT THE HEAD WAS PROBABLY THE PROBLEM. AND ALSO THE CAR JUMPS OR SLIPS OUT OF GEAR. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER PROBLEMS BUT THESE ARE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT. *AK
