Horrid. The last one they forgot to put any (as in *any*) coolant in the motor. Does Teterboro know you're the guy behind Allpar? That might help your cause :) My family's been going to our dealer since 1980 & I'm sure that makes a difference. I'm not sure the dealer principal drives every used '04 PT down to the body shop to have a crack in the bumper repaired. I know, I know, call me cynical....I will say I'm quite used to having repairs done right the first time. I'll pay a little extra and drive a little further for that. My mom's '99 LHS has been a good vehicle, but not as bulletproof as the '90 Imperial (A604 & Bendix ABS and all). Solid though.

I think if the car info center lit up (esp with cars that have nav systems!) with "Transmission problem detected - computer points to output sensor failure" or something like that, they'd have a LOT better rep for transmissions. Most of the time it does seem as though the probome is not the transmission but something else - and the trans gets replaced anyway!
