My mornings off to a great start as well..Looks like some electronic servo is going out on my Monte.
Had it rebuilt in may of 2011...reverse works intermittenly.
Called the trans shop this morning...since my 12 month 12,000 mile warranty has expired..im obviously not covered!...even though I still havent put 12,000 miles on it. Go Figure...Any way he says he has to pull the trans which will cost me a minimum of $400.00.....How ironic? The original trans I put 130,000 miles on it before it started acting up!...
Needless to say...Im not a Happy Camper!...Yet this shop has Great reviews and has been in business for over 10 yrs.....So im definately Super Disappointed....
Seeing how Im on disability...every penny counts. ...I thought...
I would get many more years of use out of it. (Monte) Since I had the Trans redone...Now Im begining to think its turning into a money pit...
As you may or maynot know..I ordered it and bought it brand new from the dealership..So I have definately gotten my moneys worth out of it!
Maybe its time .... To get rid of it?....Or because im pissed off...
I feel like just scrappn it out...!!!!!

Perhaps you can find a shop that will just swap the transmission for another for cheap?
When my transmission went out, I got a used one from a junkyard, installed for $500 all-in. I explained the situation to my mechanic and told him my price budget and all was well.
Good morning everyone! Over the weekend I put my winter rims on the Monte, it looks like a different car now
Also a person at work was in a terrible car accident. He is okay, broken leg and needs stitches in his face, but he'll be good as new in about 8-10 weeks.
He just got a Kia Forte not too long ago, it's now totalled. Just a quick reminder that everyone needs to BE SAFE OUT THERE!!!
Here's a few pictures of his car

Hi `Keane, that's sad to read 4-Sure I sure hope it's a bank error & that you take every precaution to protect you account(s)... Wish you good luck on getting it resolved & I hope it doesn't turn in2 a nightmare....
I think all these cyber thieves should be locked `up...They have cost many in so many ways
Why your money may be at risk after bank cyberattacks
For the past two weeks, an unknown attacker or group of attackers has disrupted access to the websites of five major American banks: Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank and PNC Bank.
Many customers have had trouble reaching the sites to check their account balances or move money around, thanks to what appears to be a series of coordinated attacks.

Chibi glad to hear your co worker is alive. That looked like a pretty nasty crash.
Keane Good luck getting your bank account straightened out.
Mike 03JG that looks like a good winter beater. It should be easy on gas.
