TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1993 BUICK SKYHAWK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WHENEVER IT CAME TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY RESTART ONCE THE ENGINE WAS COOLED DOWN. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED BY A DEALER TO UN PLUG A FOUR PRONGED CONNECTER THAT LEADS TO THE TRANSMISSION TO PREVENT THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT FELT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THIS PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM SLOWING DOWN ON HILLS. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 18,000.
