Description of the problem | I was stopped at a red light on a hill. When the light turned green, i stepped on the gas with no response. The car slid back and i braked. The panel light affirmed that the car was supposed to be in drive. Yet there was no response at all. The car seemed to be in neutral. I put the blinkers on and the cars behind me passed. The panel lights and radio were on along with the blinkers. I turned the ignition off and then turned it on again. It worked without a problem. I called the dealer who stated he had no idea what happened and there was nothing he could check. I have driven the car to various hill tops and stopped. The problem did not repeat itself. Is this car safe to drive? Is there a way to evaluate the transmission? |
