TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1992 CHRYSLER LEBARON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PAINT WAS PEELING FROM THE ROOF AND FRONT BUMPER ON HIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER TO INQUIRE IF THEY WOULD REPAIR IT FOR FREE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS TOO OLD AND THE MILEAGE WAS TOO HIGH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000. UPDATED 020209 *BF UPDATED 02/03/09. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE VEHICLE UNPREDICTABLY SHIFTS INTO SECOND GEAR WHILE TRAVELING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. FIRST OCCURANCE WAS AT 62,000 MILES. THE REPAIRS SO FAR ONLY SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME, 10,000 TO 15,000 PER REPAIR. DURING THE WINTER MONTHS I DRIVE IN THE SNOW WEEKLY. THIS CONDITION MAKES THE CAR EXTREMLY UNSAFE ON WET OR ICY ROADS. ITS NOW DRIVEN ONLY ON DRY ROADS. CAN THIS TRANSMISSION BE REPAIRED?

BASICALLY, EVERYTHING HAPPENED AT ONCE. FIRST, MY DOOR FELL COMPLETELY OFF OF THE HINGES AND IS NOW WIRED SHUT. THEN, I WAS INFORMED THAT I NEEDED A NEW WATER PUMP PUT IN. MY TRANSMISSION FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS LOCKED IN SECOND GEAR (I HAVEN'T YET FOUND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH MY TRANSMISSION). ALL, THE WHILE MY CAR HAS BEEN OVERHEATING EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR A YEAR AGO AND I NEED A NEW RADIATOR.*AK
