I found out that this car was purchased on July 31 1996, but not by me I can't found who or whom purchased the car. I would like to find if this car was owned by someone before me because this create a problem where if someone enter the date of ownship as 7/31 /96 who was the original owner of this car. Thank you for your help. Shirley hurt
While traveling at 65 mph, I encountered merging traffic, so I slowed down to approximately 40 mph, I then heard a pop but did not think much of it because of the construction crews working on the side of the road, I was also listening to the radio. I noticed there was something wrong when the car kept on slowing down at a steady pace, I heard the engine idling loudly and pulled over to the side of the road. I found it kind of odd that the transmission would give out on me since the car was a 1996.

While driving vehicle had stopped for no reason. Was unable to change gears. The transmission had failed at 43,000 miles. Had vehicle towed to dealer & mechanic said that transmission had worn out & needed replacing.
