Automatic transmission stuck in 3rd gear. Backed vehicle out of parking place. Put into "drive" to pull forward and van didn't move. Shifted into "neutral" then back to "drive" and pressed accelerator, and vehicle didn't move. Pressed accelerator further and vehicle finally started to move forward very slowly at approximately. 3500 RPM. Drove about 2 miles this way and parked in another parking lot; transmission did not shift the entire 2 miles. This issue is yet another in a long list of issues with this vehicle. Phoned sales/service dealer, who had it towed to their lot.

The automatic transmission will not down shift. When the consumer was pulling onto the freeway, the vehicle failed to accelerate. The cause of the failure was undetermined because dealership was unable to duplicate the problem. *ak when the sun shined onto the dashboard, the reflection reflected onto the windshield and caused an obstruction and distraction to the driver's view. The correct model year 2004. From the park position, the consumer was unable to go up an incline. The transmission did not engage to low gear for the power to move up the hill. The consumer had to back down the hill. The radio would get static when going over bumps, and the driver's side lower panel was coming apart. *scc
