On December 30, 2017 my son was driving home,we live in the country. So he stopped at a stop sign and when he went to take off the car would not shift out of 1st gear. Thank goodness he wasn't far from home so was able to very slowly get here. The car had 111144 miles on it. The car had been inoperable since that day. We have replaced the valve body but that did not help. Took it to a transmission shop where we were told the transmission only had reverse and 3rd gear and that the transmission needed to be replaced. After doing some online searching I discovered many other people with the same issue on this car.
It slips out of gear and shifts hard trying to find the right gear.
