Consumer Description

VEHICLE STARTED TO SHIFT IMPROPERLY AND THE ENGINE "REVVED" ITSELF WHILE IN PARK WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON. A WEEK OR SO LATER, CAR LOST POWER WHILE TRYING TO PARK WITHOUT WARNING. TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO FOUND NOTHING WRONG USING THE COMPUTER. CAR CONTINUED TO DO THIS FOR OVER A MONTH, WITH NO PATTERN, TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO ONCE AGAIN GAVE THE VEHICLE BACK AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I FIND THIS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM SINCE IT TURNS OFF WHILE STOPPING AND OR TURNING. *JB
