Description of the problem | I was stopped at a stoplight, but when the light turned green the car wouldn't go forward. Instead the engine just revved and rpms went up, but no movement forward and no warning lights or sounds came on. I immediately flipped on my emergency flashers and tried several times to restart and go again, but two cars crashed into each other next to me as they tried to go around me. I sat in a panic in traffic with people honking at me and flipping me off. The car wouldn't drive forward, but it would go in reverse so as the cars crashed into each other and were coming towards me i dodged getting hit by a few inches and drove slowly down the street in reverse and into a nearby parking lot in reverse. Then i parked and had the car towed to a dealer. In the parking lot i took video evidence of the car not driving forward, but able to drive in reverse so i do have video proof. The car has about 5,500 miles on it and already had an ecm reset / active transmission relearn done at about 1,000 miles back in january when the car was lagging the first month i owned it. My car is still at the dealership and for a correction they did another active transmission relearn/programming reset and say the car works and is fine now and ready to pick up. I'm not comfortable driving a car that |
