Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I was driving on a two-lane street (one-lane each direction) and as i was approaching a stoplight i turned on my left turn signal and started to move into the dedicated left-hand turn lane. As i did this i needed to downshift as i slowed down for the stopped traffic ahead at the light. When i shifted to second gear and pressed the accelerator to move into the turn lane my car would not engage into gear. I was almost rear-ended from the cars behind me but luckily my car's transmission engaged at the last second and i cleared the lane i was in. But because i was pressing the accelerator so hard to try to get the clutch to engage, when it finally did i shot off across the left-hand turn lane into the lane of on-coming traffic. I was able to steer clear before being hit head-on by on-coming traffic but the experience left me very uncomfortable with the transmission in my vehicle.
