WHEN PARKED ON AN INCLINE/ENGINE LOW OVERNIGHT, TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE. IF THE DRIVER DEPRESSES THE ACCELERATOR, A HARD ENGAGEMENT INTO DRIVE MAY OCCUR WITH A SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED JUMP FORWARD OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM COULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED BY THE DEALER. THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE INSISTED UPON COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION. DEALER HAS AGREED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR 30 DAYS.*AK
