| Description of the problem | Dt*: the contact stated the transmission disengaged while driving 65 mph. The vehicle acted as if it was in neutral, regardless of the position of the shifter. The transmission would not engage in any position including park. The engine continued to run, but there was no power to the wheels. After several attempts to restart, the transmission re-engaged. The vehicle has been to the dealership five times for inspection and repairs.
