Description of the problem | After driving a very short distance, i stopped at a stop sign and the engine seemed to turn off while the car was in drive. The display indicated to shift the car into park, and then engage a gear. I shifted into park, and then into drive but the card did not start or move. I tried that sequence several times after turning on the hazard flashers to no avail. Finally i turned off and removed the key, waited a minuted, then inserted the key and restarted the engine. I shifted into drive and the car moved. Very scary. The exact same thing happened to my wife a day later, at exactly the same location, a stop sign 1/4 mile from our home. She freaked out, and then called me. I gave her the procedure i used and she was able to return home. In both cases this occurred on a 4 lane divided roadway. This is an extremely dangerous situation with the power train which the dealer/manufacturer must address before someone is killed. *dt*jb |
