    - LENEXA, KS

    ENGINE CHECK LIGHT ON; DIAGNOSTIC RAN - REPORTED BAD AIR PUMP WHICH WAS REPLACED. WITHIN DAYS LIGHT CAME BACK ON. DIAGNOSTIC RAN AGAIN; SAME CODE=BAD AIR PUMP. MECHANIC SAID THE PUMP IS A BAD DESIGN. THE PUMP ALLOWS WATER TO GET INTO PUMP WHICH THEN GETS INTO THE ENGINE CAUSING DAMAGE AND THE LIGHT TO COME ON. $500 LATER - NO RESOLUTION; SAME PROBLEM. *AK

    - BARBERTON, OH

    ENGIN ECHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE DEALER SAID THE AIR PUMP HAD FAILED. EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS TECHNICALLY OUT OF THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD BY A FEW MONTHS, IT HAS NOT REACHED 36,000 MILES YET (3 YRS/36,000 MILE WARRANTY). I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THERE ARE REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR PUMP ON THE 1996 CUTLASS.
