Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH AND CAME TO A FOUR-WAY STOP. I STOPPED COMPLETELY AND WAITED FOR CROSSING TRAFFIC, THEN PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE. I WAS ABLE TO EASE THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED IT OFF AND ALLOWED IT TO COOL FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES, THEN RESTARTED IT. THIS TIME, THE GEARS ENGAGED, BUT THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER BEFORE IT MOVED FORWARD. FROM READING OTHER ACCOUNTS, IT APPEARS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING. THIS VEHICLE IS JUST 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 100K MILES ON IT. AFTER THAT, I TOOK BACK ROADS HOME, AND DID NOT BRING THE VEHICLE TO A FULL STOP UNTIL I REACHED MY HOUSE.
