I WAS PUSSING ON THE GAS TO HEAT UP THE ENGINE, WHILE MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL THE GEAR CHANGED FROM PARK TO REVERSE, THANK GOD THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND THE CAR BECAUSE IT MOVED IN REVERSE DIRECTION LIKE A ROCKET FROM THE DRIVE WAY TO THE STREET TO HIT ANOTHER STANDING CAR AND MOVED OFF THE STREET. OTHER THAN BODY DAMAGE THE ENGINE DIDN'T WORK AFTER THE ACCEDENT AND I HAD TO REPLACE IT AND UNTIL NOW SINCE 4/2000 I'M FIXING THINGS RELATED TO THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT WAS USED. RIGHT NOW I CAN CHANGE FROM PARK TO REVERSE WITHOUT PUSHING ANY WHERE! NOT EVEN ON THE BRAKES! I THINK WHAT HAPPEND WASN'T FAIR TO ME AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH BECAUSE I DIDN'T CAUSE ANY DEATH OR ENJURY TO ANYONE. EMAD.THX. *AK

ENGINE STALLS WITHOUT NOTICE. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE IN TRAFFIC AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THERE IS NO INDICATIO THAT IT IS GOING TO STALL. THE FIRST SIGN OF A PROBLEM IS WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THERE IS NO RESPONSE AND THE OIL INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON . THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION NOT ENGAGING IN REVERSE AND LOW IN THE THE FIRST TIME I GO TO DRIVE IT IN THAT DAY. IT TAKES ABOUT 2 MINUTES BEFORE I CAN GET IT TO ENGAGE. WHEN DRIVING AFTER THE TRANSMISSION IS WARMED UP, THERE IS SOME HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING. ALSO THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE HOOD LIFT ASSIST CYLINDERS DO NOT FUNCTION ALLOWING THE HOOD TO DROP WITHOUT NOTICE. I WAS STRUCK IN THE HEAD TWICE WHILE CHECKING FLUIDS.*AK

AFTER STARTING FROM A FULL STOP AT A CONTROLLED INTERSECTION, THE ENGINE DIED WITHOUT WARNING OR INDICATION. WE ROLLED THE CAR OUT OF THE INTERSECTION TO THE CURB. IT FAILED TO RESTART. MECHANICAL INSPECTION REVEALED A BROKEN PIVOT BOLT IN THE TENSIONER ASSEMBLY FOR THE CAMSHAFT DRIVE BELT. THE CONDITION CREATED WAS DANGEROUR AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING IN THAT THE ENGINE FAILED SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING LEAVING NO POWER ASSISTS FOR STEERING AND REQUIRED GUESSING AS TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS THE CAR WAS STILL ROLLING. I DO NOT HAVE THE VIN READILY AVAILABLE AS THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE SINCE THE FAILURE ALSO RESULTED IN THE ENGINE BENDING VALVES IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBERS. *AK
