POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER
THE TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKED UP DURING TRAVEL THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION. VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND CAME TO A STOP. VEHICLE STALLED, AND HAD TO BE PUSHED THROUGH THE BUSY INTERSECTION TO A NEARBY GAS STATION. TRANSMISSION REPAIR AT DEALER SHOWED THE TORQUE BEARING HAD FAILED CAUSING THE TORQUE CONVERTER TO BECOME WELDED TO THE CLUTCH PLATE. THE DANGER TO MYSELF AND THE FAMILY WAS IN BEING STUCK IN TRAFFIC AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. THE BEARING SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED. NORMAL MAINTENANCE WAS DONE ON THE VEHICLE AS OUTLINED IN OWNERS MANUAL. *AK

#720445March 21, 2000
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THERE IS A STEAL TOOTH RING ON EACH WHEEL THAT PROVIDES A PULSE FOR THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SENSORS. THESE RINGS ARE MOUNTED ON THE OUTSIDE CV JOINTS, NEXT TO THE FRONT WHEELS AND ARE EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS. THE FRONT RINGS GOT RUST UNDER THEM, THE RUST CAUSED THE RINGS TO CRACK. THE CRACKS ENLARGED THE SPACES BETWEEN THE TEETH. THAT SENDS A FALSE SIGNAL TO THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE COMPUTER CAUSING THE ANTILOCK SYSTEM TO ENGAGE ALL THE TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE RINGS IS BY CHANGING THE WHOLE FRONT DRIVE AXLES. THIS WILL BE A REPAIR BILL OF $300 - $400 FOR A PAIR OF STEEL RINGS. *AK
