Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR ALL THE SUDDEN SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL AND SHOWED A D WITH A SLASH THROUGH IT. I PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED I WAS IN REVERSE. WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE IT READ NEUTRAL. WHEN I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN, THERE WAS NO POWER, AS IF I WAS IN NEUTRAL. THIS HAS CONTINUED SINCE.THEN, I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT.NUMEROUS TIMES, ONCE ALMOST HIT FROM THE FRONT AND THE REAR WHEN TURNING ON A YIELDING GREEN LIGHT AND THE CAR THROUGH ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL. ALSO I HAVE HIT THE GAS IN DRIVE AND GONE BACKWARDS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD CAR WITH ONLY 52,000 MILES THAT IS THIS DANGEROUS FOR MY TWO YEAR OLD SON AND I. I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR DAILY. *TR
