Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Transmission does not hold the van while in drive, even on a slight incline. car will drift backwards causing a safty issue. it's like driving a manual transmission. if you are sitting at a traffic light, foot on the brake, as soon as you remove your foot from the brake, the van drifts backwards. if a car happens to be behind you, or even worst if someone is walking behind you, they could be potentially hit or run over. dealers recommendation of using one foot on the brake and the other on the gas is unacceptable. they say that this van does not have a hill holding feature in the transmission, and it is something that we are going to have to live with. *ak
