Consumer Description

ENGINE IS SURGING BETWEEN 50-60 PLUS MILES PER HOUR RANGE, PONTIAC DEALER RECOMMENDS TRANSMISSION CHANGE EVEN THOUGH CAR ONLY HAS 60,000 MILES ON IT. TYPICALLY NOTHING SHOULD BE DONE ON CAR TILL OVER 100,000 MILES. BOUGHT AS USED CAR AND DEALER STATES I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T HAVE MONEY TO DO SO, BUT I BOUGHT CAR WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT. SHOULDN'T HAVE TO REPLACE WHEN USED FOR ONLY 20,000 MILES. SOUNDS LIKE A RIP-OFF TO ME. WHAT CAN WE DO WITH IT AND CAN WE FIND OUT PREVIOUS OWNERS AND IF HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT BEFORE I BOUGHT IT? THANKS ALOT. *AK
