#753661October 25, 2001
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN GEAR SHIFT LEVER IS PUT ALL THE WAY INTO PARK POSITIONING, SOMETIMES VEHICLE WILL NOT INDICATE IT IS IN ANY GEAR AT ALL. THERE IS A SQUARE WHICH SURROUNDS THE P, D, N, ETC. ON THE GEAR INDICATOR, AND NONE OF THEM WILL BE OUTLINED. IN ADDITION TO SOMETIMES NOT INDICATING THE CAR IS IN GEAR, IT CAN BE IN A DIFFERENT GEAR THAN INDICATED. IT CAN SAY IT IS IN DRIVE BUT WHEN ACCELORATOR IS DEPRESSED THE VEHICLE DOES NOT GO ANYWHERE. IT SIMPLY REVS AS IF IT IS IN NEUTRAL. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS THE VEHICLE COULD ROLL OVER MY SMALL CHILDREN IF I THINK IT IS IN PARK BUT IT ACTUALLY ISN'T. THE VEHILCE HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR 3 TIMES AND I AM TOLD THIS HAPPENS BUT THERE IS NO REPAIR FOR THE PROBLEM.*AK
