J..
I am from Charlotte, NC
So far, there has been no SES or other alerts indicating a problem that would cause a code to be thrown. I have been told by my mechanic that he believes the issue is the TCC lockup solenoid, and that it may be having a mechanical or physical failure rather than an electric failure, since there are no codes.
I suppose as long as I watch the trans fluid for any sign of burning/degredation, I should be ok. I do not routinely use the Bonne for long trips, as my daily driving is usually just a few miles on the interstate, and then roads with <45 MPH speed limits. But I do occasionally need to make the 3+ hour trip, over mostly flat terrain.
Thanks,
John

But I assure you that there are Bonnes that probably get better mileage than the 2.4L I have at the moment.
