“Car shifts into neutral unexpectedly. Will be driving and car will shift into neutral and flash telling me to select gear. Cannot select gear until I turn the car off and re-crank it. Has happened to me twice while driving. Thankfully when sitting at a red light waiting to go. I give the car gas then it just shifts into neutral.”
NHTSA complaint #11074321, filed 2018-02, 59,000 miles“I (for the first time) have experienced a broken timing chain on a 80000 km (49000 mile) well maintained engine.
