Consumer Description

CAR SEEMS TO STAY IN ONE GEAR AND DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT OR UPSHIFT WHEN NEEDED. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO STOP CAR, TURN OFF AND RESTART. IT IS A RISK TO ENTER A MAIN ROAD BECAUSE OF NOT KNOWING WHAT GEAR THE AUTO TRANS IS LOCKED OR IF IT WILL SHIFT TO ANOTHER GEAR TO GET UP TO SPEED. DEALER CHECKED CAR ONCE AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT IT SEEMS IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM FOR THESE MODEL YEAR. *TR
