Default yeah, i specifically asked about that....

and apparently, AOA knows of the problems and is investigating, but keeping things on the down low.

Probably not to raise a stink and get the media involved.

Default I still say media arguments are specious...

The media's never going to get involved on a story that involves perhaps five to ten readers/viewers, tops, even in larger markets...

Default I had a call yesterday saying that they "think" that a wire harness is casuing the linkage to

bind and not allow it to go into reverse. My view is that I would have broken the wire harness with the force I put on it to get it into reverse.
