Owner report 763986 · 2002-07-09 (July 9, 2002)
THE TRANSMISSION, TORQUE CONVERTER, LOCK-UP SOLENOID HAS FAILED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME, THE DEALER REPLACED THE FIRST UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING, THIS IS AN EMISSIONS/DRIVEABILITY/ECONOMY RELATED COMPONENT. I AM NOW EXPERIENCING VERY POOR MILEAGE AND THE ENGINE SEEMS TO BE RUNNING INCREASINGLY POOR AS WELL. DRIVEABILITY SEEMS TO BE SUFFERING. THE DEALER STATES "NOTHING CAN BE DONE." - IS THIS TRUE?*AK
