2008 S Auto having trouble shifting out of 1st gear
Last night my wife drove her car and after she stopped at a stop sign she accelerated away and her transmission would not shift out of first. She let off the gas and looked down to make sure she wasn't in the manual shift mode, and then gave it some gas again and it finally shifted out of first gear. She said it shifted alright on the rest of the ride, but with these cars I'm always waiting for something new to go wrong. Does anyone have an idea what happened or what we need to posible fix in the future?
