Consumer Description

WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, THE TRANSMISSION THUMPS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. CAR WILL ONLY DRIVE SLUGGISHLY. GOES AWAY EVENTUALLY, BUT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. LOOKING ON INTERNET, IT APPEARS TO BE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR. ALSO, THE BRAKE SHIFT INTERLOCK FAILED, AND COULD NOT GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK. USED THE OVER-RIDE HOLE TO GET CAR OUT OF PARK. *TR
