Thanks for the info. Here's the latest....we took it to Midas to check the brakes again (they didn't do what we just had done) and they told us that the rear brakes were bad. We ended up replacing shoes, rotors & pads. They also informed us that the alternator needed replaced as it was only at 1310. They too now think it's a transmission problem. We called the dealer where we bought it from and spoke to the service manager and his response was "couldn't tell you, guess you better take it back to wherever you took it." We were more than willing to take it into the dealer but it's a 35 mile drive so we were trying to get something done without being on the highway with it. But with that attitude, I'm not sure I want to take it there now. I'm sure they will just tell us whatever we had done was done wrong. We've spent $600 so far this week and still have the same problem. This is the 1st domestic auto we've had in years and now I'm not sure I would buy domestic again. I've never had to replace brakes, alternators or had tranmission problems on any of the foreign vehicles I've owned until they were well over 100,000. So much for buying American!
