Consumer Description

WHILE STARTING TO DRIVE FORWARD ( NORMAL SPEED ) FROM A STOP -WENT ABOUT FIFTY FEET. I HEARD A CLUNK. THAN THE SUV ROLLED TO A STOP. I THAN TRIED TO PUT IT IN REVERSE - WOULD NOT MOVE. I THAN PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE - IT DID NOT MOVE. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING - IT WAS. I CALLED MY EMERGENCY HOT LINE AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY FOUND THAT THE CHAIN IN THE TRANSMISSION ( OR SOME PLACE IN THE DRIVE MECHANISM ) HAD BROKEN. STILL WAITING FOR IT TO BE FIXED - 11 DAYS HAVE PASSED SO FAR.
