POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLIPPING SINCE I BOUGHT CAR. A SERVICE DEPT. WORKER TAKING ME BACK TO WORK POINTED IT OUT. WHEN YOU PUT IT IN REVERSE IT TAKES A FEW SECONDS FOR IT TO GO INTO GEAR. IN THE WINTER IT IS VERY HARD TO GET OUT OF PARK. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS WAS NORMAL, BUT I HAD NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN IN ANY OTHER CAR I OWNED. WHEN DRIVING IT SOMETIMES DOES NOT ALWAYS SHIFT WHEN IT IS SUPPOSE TO AND THEN WHEN IT DOES IT SLAMS INTO THE NEXT GEAR. WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE AND THEN PUTTING IT INTO DRIVE TO GO DOWN THE DRIVE IT WON'T GO INTO TO GEAR (DRIVE) FOR QUITE AWHILE. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM AND THEY REPROGRAMED IT. WHEN I CALLED PONTIAC THE DEALERSHIP TOLD THEM THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. BUT TOLD ME IT WAS THE COMPUTER. SO IF I KEEP THIS CAR WHAT HAPPENS NOW THAT THERE IS NOT WARRANTY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FALLS OUT.*AK
