On the internet, I found where my car had a recall in 1998 for the power train transmission automatic. I never received any notice of this recall.

I replaced my transmission soon after teh car was paid for and was surprised after taking excellent care of the car. Almost a year had past and the used transmission that I replaced the first on with has turned out bad as well. I think that consumers have been cheated because these cars are not being made any more and the company seems to not care about future consumers.*Ak
