Description of the problem | Traveling at approximately 70 mph with the vsa (vehicle stability assist) off, the automatic transmission suddenly shifted into neutral. I lost power and forward momentum. I was startled and when i looked at the gear selector, the indicator showed the selector in the neutral position. I moved the selector to the drive position and immediately had forward momentum once again. I'm terrified to imagine what could have happened had i been passing another vehicle with oncoming traffic. The service technician said, " that couldn't happen. It is impossible for the transmission to move from drive to neutral without someone moving the transmission selector." i assure you it is possible, because it happened to me! |
