Consumer Description

I WAS PICKING UP MY DAUGHTER FROM SCHOOL AROUND 4:30PM ON APRIL 17, 2012 AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE TO BACK INTO A PARKING SPOT...THE CAR HAD NO POWER. THE TRANSMISSION JUST REVVED UP LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO BACK UP. I THOUGHT MAYBE I HAD IT IN THE WRONG GEAR BUT NO IT WAS IN REVERSE. I PUT THE CAR BACK INTO DRIVE AND WENT AROUND THE CORNER TO WAIT FOR HER. WHEN I TRIED TO REVERSE OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT IT STILL DIDN'T HAVE ANY POWER. THANKFUL THE CAR ROLLED BACK FAR ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT. ONCE I GOT HOME I HAD TO BE PUSHED INTO MY PARKING STALL BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN THE REVERSE WAS NOT WORKING. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR, THE MILES ARE LOW 125,000 AND IT GETS REGULAR MAINTENANCE CHECK UPS. *JS
