08 Passion did a hard reset on me after making some nice gearbox/clutch/transmission noises. ESP, double wrenches, check engine lit. Wouldn't allow start up for a few minutes.
Dealer was kind enough to charge me only $105 to check the codes and reset as I'm out of warranty by a few thousand (27k)... and no over the counter obd reader will work......said the transmission shifter motor part ($500) is going bad.
Don't know how may have past the 24k mark but it seems like the economy of ownership will dwindle as it starts to fall apart, $500 to 1200 at a time.
I bet yugo drivetrains lasted longer!
