| Description of the problem | While starting to drive forward ( normal speed ) from a stop -went about fifty feet. I heard a clunk. Than the suv rolled to a stop. I than tried to put it in reverse - would not move. I than put it back in drive - it did not move. I checked to see if the engine was running - it was. I called my emergency hot line and had the car towed to the dealer. They found that the chain in the transmission ( or some place in the drive mechanism ) had broken. Still waiting for it to be fixed - 11 days have passed so far. |
