Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was on highway 280 doing about 65 in my morning commute from san francisco to cupertino. without warning, my transmission shifted from fourth to second, sending my car into a sideways skid as if i had hit the brakes...hard. fortunately, the car beside me on the right was able to avoid hitting me as was the car behind me. left with second gear, i limped back to the dealer and received my car, with a new transmission, three weeks later. i am lucky to have not been injured and do not trust this car any longer. it was bought for insuring the safety of my family and i am worried about a repeat failure. thanks, ben. ph *nlm **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis**768534
