Consumer Description

EACH TIME THE CAR WAS PUT INTO REVERSE WHEN BACKING OUT OF GARAGE OR PARKING LOT, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WOULD ABRUPTLY JUMP INTO REVERSE GEAR WITH A VERY LOUD AND ABRUPT MOTION. IF YOU DID NOT HAVE YOUR FOOT ON BRAKE WHEN YOU PUT IT IN GEAR, CAR WOULD LEAP BACKWARDS. DEALER FOUND A LEAKING VALVE BASE GASKET IN THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH HE REPLACED. CAR HAS BEEN FINE SINCE, WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. *NLM
