POWER TRAIN
MY SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START UNLESS IT IS IN NEUTRAL OR IT WOULD NOT SHIFT AT ALL. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN PARK OR WHEN I AM DRIVING IT IS IN DRIVE BUT GOES TO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN. SO WHILE I DRIVE AND IT DOES THAT I HAVE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE. SOMETIMES I WILL BE PARKED AND I TURN ON THE CAR AND IT WON'T SHIFT AT ALL. I HAVE TRIED TO TAKE IT IN AND I HAVE CALLED THE MANUFACTURE AND NO ONE THINKS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THEY KEEP GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT LISTED ON MY APPOINTMENT. SHOULDN'T THAT BE PRIORITY?

I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES REGARDING MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER162. THE DEALER'S ONLY RESPONSE IS THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, SO I HAVE TO WAIT. CONSIDERING THAT THIS ISSUE MAY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SEIZE AT ANY TIME, I DON'T FIND THIS TO BE ACCEPTABLE.
