Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ALONG AT APPROX. 50 MPH. THE CAR SLIPPED IN AND OUT OF DRIVE. THIS RESULTED IN A RAPID DECELLERATION, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATLY BEHIND ME. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO TAKE THE CAR IN THAT DAY AS THERE REGULAR TRANSMISSION PERSON WAS OFF. I CONTINUED DRIVING THE CAR AND MUCH TO MY AMAZEMENT THE CAR SEEMED TO SKIP FAR LESS IF I ACTIVATED THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE SHIFT CHANGING WOULD ONLY HAPPEN AT HIGH SPEEDS,IE 50 MPH. MY CONCERN IS I WAS NOT OFFERED A CLEAR EXPLANATION AS TO THE CAUSE, JUST CHARGED AN UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT TO OVERHAUL THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION! PLEASE ADVISE.
