POWER TRAIN
MY CAR WAS PUT IN PARK SO THAT A GATE COULD BE CLOSED, THEN THE CAR WOULDN'T REGISTER THAT THE CAR WAS IN "PARK"....THE CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. THE TOW COST ME $400 AND THE REPAIR BILL WAS CLOSE TO $500. MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THE "DRIVE SHAFT" WAS BROKEN...THAT IT WAS "SHATTERED" BECAUSE IT'S JUST A PLASTIC PIECE UNLIKE ANY OTHER CARS...ALSO...ONE TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE FWY AT ABOUT 70 MPH WHEN THE CAR LOST ALL POWER...VERY SCARY...ALL OF A SUDDEN POWER CAME BACK ON THANK GOD...BUT SCARY..!! *TR
