Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING IN MANUAL MODE, THE CAR DROPS OUT OF GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND DOES NOT RE-ENGAGE. THE DASH SHOWS THAT THE CAR IS IN 3RD, 4TH, OR 5TH GEAR, BUT WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS, IT JUST REVS UP THE ENGINE AS IF IT IS IN NEUTRAL. IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY. I DROPPED THE CAR OFF AT BYERS IN COLUMBUS, OHIO TODAY AFTER SHOWING THE PROBLEM TO THE SHOP MANAGER. *TR
