| Description of the problem | I was cruising down a pretty busy main street. As i was trying to manuever in traffic, i sensed that as i was pressing on the gas, the car was unresponsive. I looked at the dash and noticed the car had moved itself into neutral. I tried to turn the key, but nothing happened. The car was unresponsive, but still on (from the look of the dashboard). I quickly tried to coast to the side of the road, in between speeding traffic, which was very dangerous, as i was near the highway onramp area. Once i safely pulled aside, i tried to again turn the car on using the key. Again the car was unresponsive. I turned the key to the off position and pulled the key out. When in the off position, all the lights on the dash lit up. I pulled the key out and reinserted it and turned the key and the car came back on and began to drive normally. |
