The air conditioning and tranasmission have been checked out a number of times and the dealer says there is nothing wrong, the transmission sometimes does not shift and sticks in first gear, the air conditioning does not blow cool or cold air when it is hot and muggy out. It has been known to blow cool air on one side and hot air on another.
