Consumer Description

CAR WAS IN DRIVE OR REVERSE BUT WOULD NOT MOVE, LIKE THE GEARING WAS NOT ENGAGED. PRESSED ON GAS IT FINALLY TOOK OFF ALMOST HITTING ANOTHER CAR. TOOK TO FORD, THEY FIXED SO THEY SAY, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES. YESTERDAY, WAS IN PARKING LOT AND PUT IN REVERSE AND TOOK OFF. WHEN IT IS ACTING UP, THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDS LIKE IT CLUNKS OR GONNA FALL OUT. BACK UP CAMERA IS STILL NOT WORKING AND CAN NOT SEE BEHIND YOU OR WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO HIT SOMETHING.
