In owners' own words
I was driving and it felt like a tugging on the passenger front wheel. When I would turn the tugging was worse. Then I turned around to go home and the car wouldn't move at all. All the gears were gone. The gear will go in the gear every gear but it wont go forward or backward. I don't think it's the transmission but it's possible the passenger axle or something in there or I could be wrong and it's the tranny. Power train · reported at 15 miles
