Description of the problem	When backing up (like from your driveway) if you shift from "r" to "d" too fast one of the following extremely dangerous actions will occur: 1. The engine will stall leaving you a sitting duck in traffic. Restarting is not quick or easy. You must put your foot on the brake, shift into "p" and then hit the i/o button a number of times to cycle back to "start" position to get the car started again. All the time you are praying oncoming traffic doesn't hit you! 2. The car will engage traction control (trac indicator on). When this happens pressing on the accelerator pedal has (almost) no effect (i. E. Severe hesitation) once again this leaves you a sitting duck in the middle of the road until the car decides it wants to move again. From what i can tell this defect is 100% repeatable. I have experienced it numerous times and it scares the living cr@p out of me each time it does it!
