ONCE THE VEHICLE WARMS UP, THE SHIFT SKIP (WHICH LOCKS YOU OUT OF 2ND GEAR WHEN DOING "RABBIT" STARTS IF PROPERLY WORKING) TENDS TO LOCK ME OUT OF 2ND AND 3RD GEARS BOTH ON A CONSISTANT BASIS. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN HIT BY A TRUCK AND A METRO BUS AS THIS PROBLEM IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE AND IT HAS LOCKED ME OUT OF ALL GEARS SEVERAL TIMES. I DO NOT USE THIS VEHICLE AS A "HOT ROD" OR PLEASURE ROD, IT IS MY DAILY DRIVER TO WORK AND I PUT ABOUT 130 MILES A DAY ON IT AND I NEED A DEPENDABLE CAR 7 DAYS A WEEK. *AK
