I was driving through town,a few seconds after taking off from the traffic light the light went out around my d gear and the car slipped into neutral,I put the shifter into drive where it locked up,I turned the ignition swith off and a minute later turned the car back on,the gear light reappeared and I drove it another minute till it happened again ,I was able to get to a parking lot doing this over and over again. The car has been in the shop for one month now and cant seemed to be fixed,,I could have been killed if I had been on a major highway. . The engine does not seem to be affected by this problem. . .
