The metro is having a few problems.

Couple of problems with it. Both are recurring. I dont really have a clue what is wrong with it but I was hoping some of you guys could help me figure it out.

I was driving down the road today, and next thing I know, bluish gray smoke is pouring out the back of the car. It smelled horrible. Also heard a small ticking from the car, it sounded like when you run a manual at too low of speed in X gear. This car is automatic though. I pulled over to the side, turned it off, and waiting a minute or two. Then pulled out and all was well. Problem is the car does this every few weeks.

A second problem the car has is that it gets stuck shifting between gears. Recently it has been working fine, but for the past couple of months excluding the last few weeks, it would require manual shifting from L to D. Not sure why it does that, could be why it was junked.

It has a few problems, but it runs fine aside from the ones above. I guess you can't complain when you get a free car that you can drive right out of the junkyard and home.
