DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. SAFETY DEFECT IS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE ROLLS BACK WHILE ON A HILL. WHILE IT IS IN DRIVE IT ACTS AS IF IT WAS STANDARD TRANSMISSION. HAPPENED ON AND OFF SINCE 2003. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE IDLES TOO LOW WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ROLL BACKWARDS. *JB
CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND WITHOUT WARNING TRANSMISSION WILL START TO MAKE A LOUD NOISE. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK
ON MODERATE INCLINES THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ROLLS BACKWARDS AND CONTINUES, EVEN ACCELERATES UNTIL YOU BRAKE. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER BOTH SAY THIS IS A DESIGN FEATURE AND IS NOT A DEFECT. THE COMPUTER MODULE HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED FOR OTHER REASONS BUT THIS UNSAFE DEFECT CONTINUES. *JB
