My wife was driving the car at 25 mph and the car lost all speed as if the brakes were implied and almost caused a three car pile up. Now the car is stuck in 5th gear. I am really worried because my 2 year old daughter was in the car at the time. I have done research online and this is a major problem.
The transmission is stuck in 5th gear, even if you try to downshift it manually it wouldn't come out of 5th gear.
