Consumer Description

WE ARE A FAMILY OF 5 DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE STOPPED AND PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. WHEN I WENT TO PUT INTO DRIVE, THE CAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE. FINALLY AFTER A FEW MINUTES WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE CAR GOING AGAIN, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT ITSELF (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). WE THEN HAD TO DRIVE ALONG THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY FOR 13 MILES TO THE NEXT TOWN WITH THE HAZARDS ON AT 20 MILES PER HOUR. WENT TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND AFTER THEY READ THE CODES, THERE APPEARS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY OUT. WE WERE MORE THAN 800 MILES AWAY FROM HOME ON VACATION IN MISSOURI. THE CAR IS STILL IN MISSOURI AT THE DEALERSHIP, AS THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE THE TRANSMISSION APART UNTIL EARLY NEXT WEEK. *TR
