problem #1

Montero 4WD

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
During normal driving conditions the vehicle transmission goes into a nuetral position and will not return into gear. Once this occurs none of the drive gears will work. The dealership has had this vehicle for almost three weeks and cannot determine the problem although they have got the vehicle to duplicate the problem. I believe this vehicle is a lemon and plan to take the appropriate steps to deal with this problem.
