POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
(AT AROUND 57, 000 MILES, WE HAD THE CAR SERVICED 11/30/99. INCLUDED WAS A 60,000 MILE TRANSMISSION CHECK AND SERVICE. ) ON APRIL 10, 2000, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. IT WENT OUT OF GEAR INTO NEUTRAL SO MY HUSBAND HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. HE WAS DRIVING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, SO LUCKILY HE DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT OR GET HURT. NOTE: SOME OF THE AUTO INFORMATION AND DEALER INFO IS INCOMPLETE--THE PAPERWORK IS IN THE CAR AT THE MECHANICS, I CAN GET THAT INFO IF YOU NEED. THANK YOU. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
I HAD A AFTER MARKET ACCESSORY ADDED TO THE CAR. HOWEVER WHEN PROBLEM OCCURRED I HAD THE ACCESSORY DISCONNECTED SO WE COULD FIND THE TRUE PROBLEM. DEALER DID REPLACE THE ACTUATOR AND THAT TEMPORILY FIXED THE PROBLEM. MY BRAKES SQUEAK AND THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY BUILD UP A THIN LAYER OF RUST WHEN THE CAR SITS EVEN FOR A SHORT TIME. THUS CAUSING THE SQUEAKS. IF THIS IS TRUE WHY DON'T YOU HEAR EVERY CAR SQUEAK AS THEY STOP AT A LIGHT? *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
THE ENGINE STOPS UNPREDICTABLY. I HEAR A CLICK THAT SEEMS TO COME FROM UNDER THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT, THEN THE ENGINE STARTS AND WILL NOT RESTART IMMEDIATELY. USUALLY, AFTER SOME MINUTES, IT WILL RESTART. IT WILL EVEN STOP AT HIGH SPEEDS, AS IT DID WHEN I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE ON A LONG BRIDGE, AND COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ON-COMING SEMI-TRUCKS. AS THE DEALER ADVISED, I REPLACED BOTH THE COMPUTER AND THE RELAYS, YET THE PROBLEM PERSISTS.
