whimpy little check engine light. Been having trouble w/ getting into gear from park every since tranny pan gasket leak. Took it in knowing they wouldn't follow fill procedure and sure enough. They went to wash it and couldn't get it to move. They "fixed" it and sent me home. Been having the going into gear problem and code for park by wire "unintended parking" every since. Took my lawn ornament in (havn't had time till now) and in 20 minutes or so comes out and says "well.. ordering you a new tranny, they want it back so i'll call you when it gets in. Should be half a day install." Also my gas mileage went right down the crapper from 28 +/- to 20+/-. Was blaming winter but now I havn't got a clue if the tran. did have a real problem or what, no idea.
Wow.
Thought about not posting because all my posts unintentionally sound like whines but truth is this is not a reliable low maintenance vehicle and I wanted the guy like me looking to get into one to know. Get extended warranty and pray every time I turn the key for anyone reading this thinking of owning one. Literally can't get 3000 miles without going into shop. Not to mention the service provide on these... I'm wandering what was dicked up the first time (maybe nothing was I don't know). To bad I actually like the thing. Will be researching something else, but at the same time hoping this is the last choke and hoping to keep it like I originally wanted. I've had it w/ electronic crapola, but i'm afraid that's the world today. At minimum get a full lifetime warranty setup on it, and I actually vote against those usually.
I know almost know nothing at this point including what codes were. I wrote it down and posted one time but forgot. He claimed it was different this time but who knows. I glanced at his paper and it was "P..." something. I'll update later but it will be a while cause i'm buried.
