| Description of the problem | I was backing out of a parking space and my car refused to go into reverse, but would go forward instead. I ended up having to stop the engine and restart the car in order to get it to go into reverse. A week later, i was driving and stopped for a minute by putting my foot on the brake and when i went to continue my car would not go forward. Cars were honking their horns at me but i could not get it to go forward. Finally i lightly touched the ignition switch and the car proceeded to drive forward. When i spoke to the dealership after the first incident, they said that i would have to reproduce the problem at least 5 times before they would address it. Both incidents happened while i was in busy areas in our town. |
