I WAS DRIVING ON A SURFACE STREET AT 20MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING SLAMMED INTO MY VAN. INSIDE IF FELT LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE WITH THE CAR JOLTING FROM BACK TO FRONT. THE WHOLE INTERIOR WAS MAKING TERRIBLE NOISESI I THOUGHT THE WHOLE CAR WAS FALLING APART. I GOT OUT TO LOOK THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE EXTERIOR. I TRIED TO LIFT THE HATCHBACK AND COULD NOT. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OPEN, THE HYDRAULIC CYLINDER ON THE RT HAD SNAPPED OFF FROM THE CAR FRAME. WHEN IT HAPPENED, MY STEERING WHEEL JOLTED FROM MY HANDS AND I WAS PULLED TO THE LANE TO THE LEFT. HAD THERE BEEN A CAR THERE, I WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. I WENT TO THE SERVICE DEPT AND WAS TOLD THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PART IN 1992 BUT IT DID NOT COVER MY CAR YEAR, WHICH THEY THOUGHT PECULIAR BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME PART THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT YOU TO FOLLOW UP AND NOTIFY THEM WITH AN AUTHORIZATION NUMBER AND THEY CAN REPAIR IT UNDER WARRANTY. I CALLED YOUR VM BUT NO ONE HAS RETURNED MY CALL. I WILL ALSO CONTACT THE AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE. THX CHERRIE DOLLOFF I SHOULD BE HOME BY 3PM FROM WORK

WHILE DRIVING TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND JAMMED IN GEAR. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT USING 'ALL NEW PARTS'. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO HARD SHIFT UP AT 20-30 MPH. HE TOOK IT APART EVERY TIME AND SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM THAT HE COULD SEE, EVEN THOUGH HE AGREED ABOUT THE HARD SHIFT. I PAID $1,400 OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE IT FAILED 3 MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED (AND WHEN THE BALLOON PAYMENT WAS DUE AT THE END OF THE GOLD KEY LEASE.) IT RECENTLY BEGAN MAKING A HIGH PITCHED DRILL TYPE NOISE UPON ACCELERATING AT ANY SPEED, ALONG WITH BOTH HARD SHIFTING UPON ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. THE NOISE CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS, AND STOPPED 4 DAYS BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION TOTALLY FAILED. IT FAILED AT 65MPH, IN CRUISE CONTROL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, ONLY 18 MONTHS AFTER IT HAD BEEN REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE BEGAN BUCKING LIKE A HORSE, WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING VERY HARD DOWN AND UP SEVERAL TIMES. I DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND IT LOST POWER STEADILY UNTIL IT WOULD NOT DRIVE ANY MORE. THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE I WAS FLOORING IT IN PARK EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN DRIVE. I SWITCHED FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE AND BACK 3 TIMES BEFORE A GEAR WOULD ENGAGE. IT WOULD OPERATE IN REVERSE. I WAS ABLE TO RESUME ENOUGH POWER TO GET US HOME.
