problem #1

Nov 032003

9-5 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,564 miles
I parked my car in my driveway, went out to move it into the garage and it would not start. I had the car towed and learned it was an internal problem in the fuel pump. I had to purchase a fuel pump. This happened in November 2003, I owned the car less than three years. The time before that it had to be towed, it just lost speed, as I was driving on the expressway. I had to have torque seals & ring block replaced in January 2005, the oil was running out of my transmission. I just had to have the brakes replaced for the 2nd time, in five years, in January 4, 2005.
