“March 2011, I was heading home. I was talking on the hands free phone system, and immediately I felt a jerk and heard a noise. I looked at the control panel and the vehicle panel read n neutral instead of d drive. The vehicle automatically switched into neural on the freeway at 70mph!!!! At this point I am in the fast lane and hysterical. I pressed the gas and nothing happened. The speed decreased to 40mph and cars are now racing past and behind me. Luckily, a police officer spotted me and physically hit my car and moved it over to the side while I was in it. …”
