Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. I TRIED TO PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE, BUT IT KEPT SHIFTING BACK INTO NEUTRAL. LUCKILY THERE WAS ENOUGH DISTANCE BETWEEN ME AND THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS THAT IT DIDN'T RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I HELD THE GEARSHIFT IN DRIVE WITH MY RIGHT HAND AND STEERED WITH MY LEFT UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF OF THE STREET INTO A PARKING LOT. I COULD NOT PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I PRESSED THE PARK BUTTON AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED A MINUTE AND STARTED IT AGAIN. I COULD SHIFT INTO REVERSE, BUT IT CONTINUED TO POP BACK INTO NEUTRAL WHEN IN DRIVE. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME HOLDING THE GEARSHIFT IN DRIVE WITH ONE HAND.
