STARTED ENGINE,NO REVERSE, NO FORWARD; TURNED ENGINE OFF, WAITED 30 SECONDS OR SO; TURNED ENGINE ON, SHIFTED TO DRIVE- OK, SHIFTED REVERSE - OK. BROUGHT TO DEALER ON 4/5/99. TOLD TODAY 4/9/99 THAT A "RING" IN TRANSMISSION POPPED OUT. MY QUESTION IS: "IF A RING DID POP OUT THE FIRST TIME I SHIFTED, DID IT POP BACK IN AGAIN AFTER SHUTTING OF ENGINE AND RESTARTING?" MY MECHANIC AT MY LOCAL GARAGE HAS HEARD OF THE SAME PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES,BUT IN THOSE CASES (GM CARS) IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH A COMPUTER PART. THANK YOU.. *AK

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE ENTIRE WHEEL INCLUDING THE RIM CAME OFF OF THE CAR. TIRE HAD NEVER BEEN REMOVED OR CHANGED.

BECAUSE OF THE AIR BAG BEING DIRECTLY UNDER THE HORN AND THE RADIO CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL, IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO PRESS THE HORN, IT TAKES AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF EFFORT FOR CONSUMER HORN TO ACTIVATE THE HORN. *AK

WHEN SHIFTING TRANSMISSIOM FROM PARK TO DRIVER OR ANY OTHER GEAR, THE GEARS WILL NOT ENGAGE. CAUSE UNKNOWN. DEALER REPLACED TRANSMISSION CABLE WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER A SECOND TIME, TRANSMISSION CABLE WAS ADJUSTED, AND THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE FIXED. *AK *ML

TRANSMISSION CABLE FAILURE CAUSING DIFFICULTY IN SHIFTING, EXCESSIVE EFFORT. YH

THE INCORRECT DESIGN OF DASH BOARD CAUSES ITS REFLECTIION TO APPEAR ON THE WINSHIELD. YH
