| Description of the problem | Issue with my car suddenly switching itself into neutral even though physically the car was in drive. I was on a busy street going 60mph with the flow of traffic, when my car switched to neutral. This caused my car to go from 60mph to 20mph in a matter of seconds in which case the car beyond me going 60mph+ nearly rear ended me. |
