Consumer Description
RANDOMLY, AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND SELECTING REVERSE, THE DASH DISPLAY DOESN'T DISPLAY 'R' OR IT FLASHES 'N', AND THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T ENGAGE REVERSE GEAR. MOVING GEAR SHIFTER BETWEEN PARK AND DRIVE SEVERAL TIMES OR RESTARTING VEHICLE HELPS SOMETIMES. THIS WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF NEEDING TO REVERSE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION AND THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE.
