Description of the problem	I was going west on fair view avenue in tucson, arizona when my car suddenly shifted out of drive into something below drive. It started shimmying back and forth and would not proceed. I was coming upon a 4 way stop, so i finally got the car back into drive; it seemed ok. I drove very carefully and slowly home without incident--maybe 4 or 5 blocks. However, when i turned into my garage, the gearshift shifted below again and my car shimmied out of control back and forth and the right side of my car was badly scraped, and the left taillight cracked. So, the first time i was briefly stationary waiting for the cars ahead of me to move, but the second time i was in motion but moving very slowly to negotiate the entrance to the garage, so almost stationary. The garage was not damaged. I do not have a cell phone that can take photos at this time, but i hope to secure a cell phone. The dealership always inspects my car for its regular service, so they must have records. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
