Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Five incidences where the car will not shift out of 2nd gear. this happens when the car is placed in drive. it lunges forward because it is already in 2nd gear. will not shift into 1st or 3rd gear from there. auto stick is stuck in 2nd also. this causes the "check engine" light to be displayed. three different dealers replaced shifting sensors, soleonoids in transmission, replaced seals. after last repair, car made it one block before problem arose again, and this time the speedometer did not move from 0. the car was obviously not test driven before we were called to pick it up. this problem has cost me lost wages with no way to get to work.*ak
