THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT A MONTH LATER, SO I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER. TOOK MY CAR IN AND THE SERVICE TECH ASKED ME TO RIDE WITH AND SHOW HIM WHAT IT IS DOING. SO I DROVE THE TECH AROUND ABOUT A HALF HOUR. ON THE WAY BACK IN TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 35 MPH THE CAR STUCK IN GEAR AGAIN WITH THE TECH IN THE CAR.
