Ijust bought my 626 about 6 months ago and it is having major problems that it did not have when I bought it. The transmission is failling, it jerks, it smokes, and sometimes it will not even go. To get it fixed I will have to pay about $3000 unless they find more problems in the car. I see many people have the same problem as me and I do not understand why they don't fix it.

While pulling out of a parking lot engine revved, but vehicle would accelerate faster than 20 mph. Then vehicle stopped accelerating. Dealership indicated that converter cooler was fried and failed to cool the transmission.
