yeh i did test drive it with my pops b4 we bought. it ran fine and teh CEL was OFF. we picked up a day or two after. i went to wal-mart with my friend only to notice the CEL was on. the dealer didnt give us crap in the beginning, buuuttt they did start to be retards about it. Like the day we figured out something was wrong with the tranny, my dad had called the dude up to see if hed go on a test drive with me and try to "feel" whathte problem was, tehy guy sed ya over the phone, but when i got there, he sed no. he sed there was nothing in there power they could do, and that they "had no idea what is wrong with it" and dont have the right tools to fix anything. i figured the guy was jsut bs'ing cuz they fixed everything else for us.
and in reply to the dude about the gas filler neck. it wanst a recall exaclty, the lady we talked to sed it was labeled "a program", jsut a name for it i guess. she sed it woudlve been a recall, but there werent enough cases in which people had this problem. its the same with teh fuses in the glove box making a connection and smoking up the car, its dangerous yes, but there havent been enough cases in which this has happened to label it a safety recall.
