Consumer Description

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I HAD NOTICED THAT IT WAS HARD TO SHIFT TO PARK FROM THE REVERSE AND DRIVE GEAR POSITIONS. IT SEEMED AS IF THE GEAR WOULD JAM ON SOMETHING AND AFTER A WHILE OF TRYING TO GET IT TO MOVE FORWARD IT WOULD ADVANCE TO THE PARK POSITION. NOW, JUST YESTERDAY I WAS GETTING INTO MY CAR FROM WORK AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START IT JUST SAID QUITE. EVERYTHING ELSE WORKED, BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN. I ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK AND IT WOULD NOT LET ME. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL SO THAT IT WOULD RELEASE BUT IT DID NOT WORK. I MUST HAVE TRIED 10 TIMES TO START IT AND AS I WAS ABOUT TO CALL THE TOW TRUCK , I TRIED IT ONE MORE TIME AND THEN IT STARTED. *TR
