Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Transmission did not engage in reverse. car rolled forward when parked on hill; thinking that it needed more gas to go backwards i accelerated, gear engaged after five seconds sending car backwards surprisingly fast. this slippage in reverse reoccurs about 70% of the time. if a pedestrian was either at the front or back of my car this defect could have led to an accident.
