| Description of the problem | My soul is a five speed, i was stopped at a stop light, in first gear ready to start accelerating, when i realized, my car was reversing instead of going forward. I could not get it out of reverse, no matter what gear i shifted to. Other family drove my car as well, and had the same issue. Every gear is reverse, it is not always happening, but it happens every once in awhile. Had to have it towed to where i bought it, because i could not get into first to move it. |
