Consumer Description

I ATTEMPTED TO BACK UP OUT OF THE GARAGE TO GO TO AN EVENING FUNCTION. THE CAR SEEMED TO RESIST THE REVERSE PROCEDURE. AFTER EXITING THE CAR AND CONTINUING TO RECEIVE CONTINUING RESISTANCE TO REVERSE OR IN DRIVE I EXITED THE CAR. I COULD SEE NO PROBLEM WITH OBSTACLES. MY NEIGHBOR, WHO WAS WALKING HER DOG, SAID THAT THE REAR WHEELS WERE NOT TURNING. I ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES TO GO FORWARD BUT COULD NOT. THEREFORE, I FORCED THE CAR BACK INTO THE GARAGE WITH THE REAR WHEELS SCREECHING AT THE FORWARD MOVEMENT INTO THE GARAGE. THIS IS WHERE THE CAR IS AT PRESENT. IN THE GARAGE SUNDAY MORNING 1/20/02.*AK
