| Present mileage 45,600 first reported attemt to fix 24,200 miles. district manager oldsmobile says there is no known fix for the problem. he owned one that had the same problem. iam very concerned that the distraction this hesitation causes will cause an accident. the district mgr. will be a farnsworth next week. i feel oldsmobile does not want to absorb the cost involved in such a repair and hope that i will trade the car. iam at least 2 years from trading. what recourse do i have? it feels like a torque converter continuously engaging and disengaging, sometimes every fifteen seconds. *ak | |||
