Vehicle doesn't automatically shift past 20 MPH. After stopping vehicle doesn't pick up speed. Valve body was found to be faulty and caused problem.
While going 25mph right front axle broke. Lost control of vehicle and hit curb & then a pole. Both air bags deployed upon impact. Vehicle was towed to dealer.
When ignition turned to accessory, the shift lever can be moved into any gear without pushing button in on shift lever or pushing on the brake. This is extremely dangerous! It rolled backwards down a hill while in accessory position.
