Before taking my kids to school, I put my car in reverse to back out of my parking space, as soon as I switched it from reverse to drive, my car would not move. I noticed that on the digital screen that the "d" had a slash mark as if to say "no driving", and the check engine light came on. I put the car in park and turned it off. I restarted it to see if maybe it was a glitch in the system. This time, I went from park to drive and the slash mark was still on drive, however I was able to drive the car very slowly. . It wouldn't go over 5mph. I reversed and parked back into my parking space. Once this happened, I decided to do some research. Turns out, it is the transmission range sensor, and a lot of owners are having the same issue. The next day, I decided to attempt to drive it again. . Because we all know these cars have a mind of their own and seem to decide to go bad one day and act completely normal the next! I started the car and the check engine light was on, but seemed to drive fine. I drove it to have it tested at the auto store. The test confirmed that it was the transmission range sensor. I then stopped at a store on my way home. I was in the store less than 5 minutes, came out to my car, and it would not start! I thought the battery had ironically died. My brother in law came to jump it, but had no success. I turn the key all the way over, and the service lights come on, but it wont even try to turn over. . Its almost as if the car has nothing under the hood. . . Crazy that it wont even attempt to start. My brother in law says it may be the starter, but something tells me this all has something to do with the transmission range sensor. Please put this part on recall! I've seen enough complaints from owners that I cant believe there hasn't been one yet. Enough is enough! recall the transmission range sensor! this is dangerous!!!!.
