While leaving a parking lot in the city, in drive, car would not shift into next gear, unable to go above 25mph; with additional pressure to gas sending rpms high without altering speed or shifting gear. After finding a place to park, no cel. Upon restarting car, cel is illuminated, and car will not shift into park, reverse, or neutral, and upon putting into drive the car jerks forcibly. The shift indicator on the dash also fails to register p, r or n. Only drive. Had car towed and left at autorepair shop and the next morning they were able to pull code u0101 from diagnostic testing, and after plugging the TCM back in after examining pins and connectors, the transmission returned to normal function.

Had been losing mpg for about six months (went down from average 28 to 21) and dealer said could not do anything for me. Finally, engine light went on and brought car back to dealer who diagnosed a faulty oxygen sensor. Dealer ordered part and replaced sensor couple days ago. Engine light is off but it will take several months to check the mpg. Improvement.
