Consumer Description

SOMETIMES WHILE BACKING THE VEHICLE (VEHICLE IN REVERSE) THE VEHICLE WILL LURCH FORWARD. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND THE VEHICLE IS GOING IN REVERSE. THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER DOES NOT MOVE FROM THE REVERSE INDICATOR. I TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO CHECKED IT OUT AND COULD NOT LOCATE A PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. THIS TIME THE VEHICLE TRAVELED A FEW FEET FORWARD. THIS WAS AT MY RESIDENCE.
