I was able to pull off a side road, placed the car in park and then engaged it to the drive gear, but i was not going anywhere, i was able to put it into the reverser gear,but no movement.,i only have 63,000 miles on my vehicle. My mechanic tells me it is my transmission, and will cost approximately 2400. 00 i don;t have that kind of money to fix my vehicle. If i had been in heavy traffic, these might have resulted in an accident and someone could have been seriously hurt. |
