The car was running fine and then when it shifted through the gears when it went to change into overdrive it was like it just went into neutral. I pulled over and tried all the gears again and there was a light gringing sound and all it would work in was 1st gear so I got to drive home at a lightning speed of bout 10 to 15 MPH.

I haven't had any other problems currently. It costed me around $300.00 to fix both sides. I am seeing if I can get refunded for this since I didn't know that there was a recall?
