Description of the problem | As i was driving on the highway (cruise control), i raised my right knee which accidentally bumped the ignition key which turned the car off. I turned to key to on, but no help, then start position, again no help. I then put the trans in neutral and was able to restart the engine. However, i could not shift back into drive. I had to pull off the highway, come to a complete stop before i could shift into drive. Fortunately i was on a two lane highway where i could safely pull off to the side of the road. Had i been in one of the middle lanes of i-5 near seattle, this could have caused a serious accident (me getting rear ended). Note that i able to duplicate this problem later. |
