Consumer Description

MY FIRST EXP. WITH THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE . I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND IT WENT BACK, BUT I PUT IN DRIVE IT WOULD NOT MOVE, SO I PUT IN 3RD GEAR AND IT MOVE FORWARD SLOWLY UNTIL PUT IN DRIVE AGAIN AND IT WORKED. SECOND TIME A WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR GOES INTO NEUTRAL AND I LOSE POWER , AGAIN I PUT IN 3RD AND POWER CATCHES LUCKILY NO ONE BEHIND ME TO SLAM INTO ME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND ASKED IF THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM ,THEY SAID NO BUT WOULD CHECK IT OUT FOR 90 DOLLARS! THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. THIRD TIME TONIGHT 1-20-13 IM LEAVING WORK AND THE CAR GETS ME TO THE GROCERY SORE ALRIGHT, BUT LEAVING FOR HOME IT GOES FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AND NO POWER AGAIN PUT IT 3RD AND I GET HOME DRIVING 15 MPH .WHEN TRYING TO PARK IT WONT GO INTO PARK I HAVE TO PUT IN NEUTRAL ,TURN KEY OFF AND HAND BRAKE . TURNED THE CAR BACK ON TO SEE IF IT WOULD WORK RIGHT AND ALL I WOULD GET WAS A SLASH OVER THE P AND THE D. *TR
