| Description of the problem | On the day of the incident, the car gear was shifted to drive, but rather than going forward, it proceeded to roll backwards on the incline on which it was parked as if it were in neutral. The car was then towed to the nearest dealer and the service department said that a clip in the gear box had broken and had to be replaced. *jb |
