I realize this is off topic, but lots more traffic here.
I just bought my daughter an 08 Impala. It was on a 'for sale by owner' lot, but come to find out it came from a car flipper who buys them and fixes them enough to turn them.
Anyway, it has 2 problems, and so far the seller is working with me to get it dependable.
First problem, the transmission. He said they rerplaced the transmission and it is under warranty. I have not understood if it was rebuilt or used.
What it does, if stopped idling in gear for a few seconds, as in sitting through a red light, when taking off it slips, feels like the engine free revs for a second, then bangs hard and takes off. It doesn't do it every time, but seems the longer it is stopped the worse it is. It also shifts hard from 1st to 2nd, especially if you are getting up to speed quickly.
They are blaming it on programing and needing to learn. There is no fault code showing on the dash. I took it back for the 2nd time and they are going to look into it some more today. Anything I can suggest? They seem to somewhat know what they are doing, but this may be a little out of their league.
The other problem, it won't pass emissions. No check engine light, but the evap, oxygen sensor, oxygen sensor heater, all say 'not ready'. I drove it about 50 miles before the inspection, they said drive it more, I put a total of 113 miles and it still says the same. Any idea why?

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
