Description of the problem	On two occasions (to date) my kia optima has become inoperable - unable to put the car in drive or reverse. The first occurred during the winter in february 2010. After one of many snowstorms this season i was driving on a plowed road then encountered an area where there was only room enough for one car to pass. When i pulled over to allow an approaching vehicle to pass my car was in about 8-inches of snow. While moving the transmission selector between reverse to get out of loosely packed snow i found i could no longer get the car into a drive gear
