2007: “The car won't shift into drive or neutral reverse it just won't move at all and I never had this problem nothing else is wrong with my car it just won't go into gear I had to get a tow truck to bring it home and how he got it on the truck he sprayed wd-40 and pull it on that's that way it was easy to slide up on a flatbed. So I'm wondering could it be the safety neutral switch on a 300”
