In owners' own words
I was driving over a mountain pass when I got a message "gear not available" after putting on the brakes to slow down. The transmission would not go through the gears. I turned around and went home with vehicle barely going through gears when slowed and then speeding up. I had no reverse when stopped to have checked and leaving the parking lot. I had problems getting back up to driving speed after slowing down. Power train · reported at 30,700 miles
