Consumer Description

CAR WOULD NOT STAY IN DRIVE. WHEN I PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE, IT WOULD IMMEDIATELY REVERT TO NEUTRAL. THE CAR MIGHT ONLY ADVANCE A COUPLE OF FEET AND THEN IT WOULD POP BACK INTO NEUTRAL. SOMETIMES IT WOULD IMMEDIATELY POP BACK, NEVER REALLY STAYING IN DRIVE. HOLDING THE SIFTER IN DRIVE WOULD ALLOW THE CAR TO DRIVE. AFTER THE CAR WOULD POP BACK INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION, THE CAR COULD NOT PUT IT INTO PARK AS WELL. I COULD REVERSE. ONLY AFTER PUTTING IT IN REVERSE, WOULD THE CAR GO INTO PARK. THE CAR SEEMED TO HAVE RESOLVED ITSELF WHEN NEXT CHECKED, NEAR AN HOUR LATER. WEATHER WAS VERY COLD, IN THE SINGLE DIGITS, NOW IT IS 15.6 F AND THE CAR SEEMS OK. *JS
