Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Transmission locked to "limp home" mode. can be reset by turn off and on the ignition, but it wont solve the problem and will occur again. if you run at 75/80 mph, and the "limp" mode is on.. the gear will be shift down suddenly and it will dangerously impact the speed of the car behind me. luckily the car behind me have enough time to reduce the speed before it hits me. *ak
