| Description of the problem | I was driving to work, and without warning, my car went into neutral. I was on a major highway and was lucky i didn't get rear-ended. I didn't have any warning signs! The transmission fluid was even full. I was able to coast into the median, but my car was over 50 miles away from home. Towing it is going cost me about $200. I am so frustrated! |
