Consumer Description

IF MY CAR SITS AT IDLE FOR TOO LONG LIKE STUCK IN TRAFFIC OR WAITING AT A DRIVE THRU THE MAINTENANCE LIGHT COMES ON AND IT WILL NOT SHIFT. THE RPMS REV UP BUT IT ACTS LIKE IT IS STUCK . IT WON'T MOVE OVER A FEW MPH. THEN IF YOU SHIFT IT INTO NEUTRAL IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE AND THE WHOLE CAR JERKS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS ABOUT TO FALL OUT. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND IT WILL NOT SHIFT RIGHT. YOU CAN FLOOR THE GAS AND IT BARELY MOVES THEN IT WILL COME OUT OF IT AND DRIVE FINE UNTIL YOU HAVE TO SIT IDLE AGAIN. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO FIX IT AT MULTIPLE MECHANICS SHOPS AND NOTHING WORKS. HAVE CHANGED MULTIPLE SENSORS AND IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAPPEN AGAIN.07
