Never took in for rear wiper. Started leaking oil, so took to dealer here in roosevelt 21, Dec. Started to provo Jan. 10, cruise control went off, speedometer would not work, this caused the car to not shift. Pulled off road as car stops, turned car back on, turned around to return home. Afraid to continue over mountains. Took to murry motors, could not find anything wrong. Took for a 30 minute mile ride and it happened again. Will take back this following Monday to be checked again. Can not drive if it wont shift. Took to murray motors for oil leak. They replaced two hoses. Not connected properly, causing leak. Thanks Mrs. Riding. ****dimsii IVOQ entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*****770837
