#703295February 14, 1999
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED A PROBLEM WAS 2 YEARS BEFORE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE OCCURED. WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION JUMPED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN FOR ANOTHER YEAR, AND SINCE IT WASN'T A RECURRING PROBLEM, I DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO IT. BUT ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO THE CAR REALLY STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS. WHEN I STARTED IT, THERE WAS A COLD DELAY. THAT IS, THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE IN ANY DIRECTION--FORWARD OR REVERSE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A REPUTABLE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP AND THEY FOUND EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF METAL IN THE SUMP PAN. THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO HAVE A COMPLETE OVERHAUL COSTING $1,594.14--A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY. THIS REALLY DOESN'T HAVE TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ADD, FOR YOUR INFORMATION, THAT I HAVE HAD , IN MY OPINION, AN EXTRORDINARY AMOUNT OF WORK DONE ON THE BRAKES AND SUSPENSION OF THIS CAR. EVERY YEAR, THE BRAKES NEED REPLACING AND I'VE HAD THE FRONT STRUTS REPLACED TWICE IN THREE YEARS.
