While driving at 35 MPH the automatic transmission began to slip without warning. When trying to start the vehicle the following day, the transmission would not engage.

When the car is put in reverse and the break released, the car moves itself without touching the gas at all. It will continue to go at a fairly rapid speed, until the break is hit again. It will go at this speed for over 100 feet. It was reported to the dealer and they said "they all go that way". If a child was within 20 feet of the car the car would proced over the child.
