ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I WAS PUSSING ON THE GAS TO HEAT UP THE ENGINE, WHILE MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL THE GEAR CHANGED FROM PARK TO REVERSE, THANK GOD THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND THE CAR BECAUSE IT MOVED IN REVERSE DIRECTION LIKE A ROCKET FROM THE DRIVE WAY TO THE STREET TO HIT ANOTHER STANDING CAR AND MOVED OFF THE STREET. OTHER THAN BODY DAMAGE THE ENGINE DIDN'T WORK AFTER THE ACCEDENT AND I HAD TO REPLACE IT AND UNTIL NOW SINCE 4/2000 I'M FIXING THINGS RELATED TO THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT WAS USED. RIGHT NOW I CAN CHANGE FROM PARK TO REVERSE WITHOUT PUSHING ANY WHERE! NOT EVEN ON THE BRAKES! I THINK WHAT HAPPEND WASN'T FAIR TO ME AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH BECAUSE I DIDN'T CAUSE ANY DEATH OR ENJURY TO ANYONE. EMAD.THX. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT WHEN WEATHER WAS BELOW 25 DEGREES. TOOK CAR INTO DEALER FOR WARRANTY WORK EACH WINTER. THEY ALWAYS SAID THE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IT WOULD WORK UNTIL THE NEXT WINTER. FINALLY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH STATE OF COLORADO AND TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. NOW THE NEW TRANSMISSION (2 YEARS AND 22,000 MILES LATER) WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR AFTER SITTING FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. AIR CONDITIONING DOESN'T WORK EVERY OTHER SUMMER. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. SERVICES AC AND IT WORKS THAT SUMMER. ALL WARRANTIES EXHAUSTED AND STILL HAVING PROBLEMS.*AK
