I have had several issues with this vehicle. The transmission needs to be replaced, catalytic converter is going out. Also, the oil gauge doesn't work.

We already had the cracked radiator leaking into the transmission problem. The mechanic we used replaced the radiator and flushed and reserviced the transmission. That was about 6 months ago.

Now, starting October 25th, the Service Engine Soon light came on and there is no low gear when starting up from a stop, or any other time low gear is required. Every now and again, it will work, but 99% of the time there is no low gear. all other gears work fine. Acceleration is poor obviously.
