Consumer Description

TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WITH THE VSA (VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST) OFF, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. I LOST POWER AND FORWARD MOMENTUM. I WAS STARTLED AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE GEAR SELECTOR, THE INDICATOR SHOWED THE SELECTOR IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION. I MOVED THE SELECTOR TO THE DRIVE POSITION AND IMMEDIATELY HAD FORWARD MOMENTUM ONCE AGAIN. I'M TERRIFIED TO IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD I BEEN PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID, " THAT COULDN'T HAPPEN. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO MOVE FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WITHOUT SOMEONE MOVING THE TRANSMISSION SELECTOR." I ASSURE YOU IT IS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE IT HAPPENED TO ME! *TR
