| Description of the problem | While driving at highway speed, it felt like the transmission went into neutral. The engine will rev and is able to be shifted into another gear, but doesn't move. There was no warning - no light or bell, no noises, no smells. We were forced to pull off the road and coast to a safe place with our 2 children in the car. There are approximately 80,000 miles on the vehicle. We have yet to repair the vehicle as it just occurred. |
