FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED IN 1998. SHIFTING ALWAYS SEEMED A PROBLEM. TEN MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE, THE VEHICLE STARTED HESITATING AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS CHECKED A NUMBER OF TIMES AND IT WAS LATER DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. WHILE THE DEALER WAS TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. IT LASTED ABOUT ONE MONTH AND THE REPLACED TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED WITH THE CURRENT TRANSMISSION WHICH IS THE THIRD ONE IN THIS AUTOMOBILE. TWO MONTHS LATER, A HESITATION WAS NOTED AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS BELOW HALF FULL AND TAKING A LEFT TURN. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY HAVING THE FUEL PUMP AND SENDING UNIT REPLACED.
