Slips going in and out of drive or reverse, when going to stop at all, it goes from drive to neutral all by itself., also slips a little bit while driving, not always. I fear that this is a very unsafe vehicle. I am afraid that if I'm driving along with my two year old son in the car and I go to stop for somthing running across the road, or what ever, that I wont be able to move because the transmission is stuck and this big huge semi runs into the back of my car, killing my son. Sorry, but I well that I should not have to take that extra risk. I have to deal with that thought in any oter vehicle, but it is like 100 times more with this one. Took it back to the dealer 3 different times for the same thing. Two out of the three times, they said nothing was wrong. The third time they got it to do what it was doing to me, but yet that was normal...so they say.
