Sometimes when stating from a stop, like a stop light or entering on a road, the transmission will make a loud sound in the rear and lock in in one gear. I need to pull of the road and restart the vehicle and start out again. It will go into reverse and park but will not shift properly until I do this. Sometimes I need to restart it more than once to get it to shift, not very good when it does this in traffic. Also the engine light comes on but so far has reset itself after a few cycles
