Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES GO FORWARD EVENTHOUGH THE GEAR SHIFT IS IN THE R POSITION FOR REVERSE. AND THE OPPOSITE HAPPENS. I MAY GO IN REVERSE EVENTHOUGH THE GEAR IS IN THE D POSITION FOR DRIVE. -- I BELIEVE THE ABOVE HAPPENS IF I SHIFT GEARS TOO QUICKLY BEFORE THE CAR FINISHES ITS SYSTEM CHECK. -- THAT IS MY OWN TROUBLESHOOTING EFFORT/OPINION. THE WRONG MOTION HAPPENS WHEN STARTING FROM A STATIONARY POSITION. FOR EXAMPLE STARTING THE CAR AND WANTING TO DRIVE FORWARD OUT OF A PARKING SPOT OR WANTING TO GO REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF A GARAGE. ---- IT'S HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I NOTIFIED THE DEAL SALES REP BACK IN OCT. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED. IT'S HAPPEND A COUPLE OTHER TIMES AND FINALLY I FOUND THIS WEBSITE AFTER IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS WEEK.
