Consumer Description

AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY FOR THE LAST 2DAYS, I GET ABOUT 1/2 MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND AN INDICATOR COMES ON TELLING ME THAT SHIFTING WHILE DRIVING CAN'T BE DONE. THE CAR SHUTS COMPLETELY DOWN AND I HAVE TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP TO TURN THE KEY OFF. THE STEERINGWHEEL LOCKS UP MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD. WHEN I TRY TO RESTART, IT ACTS LIKE STARTER IS FIGHTING TO TURN ON. I HAVE TO GIVE IT FUEL TO GET IT TO START. THEN I DON'T HAVE PROBLEMS THE REST OF THE DAY
