Here is someting new. My wife called me a week ago saying that the car was "locked up" after she started the engine. The engine was working, but she could not do anything else -- move the tranny from "P" position, open/close windows, move the seats, etc. The main thing was of course the tranny, because she could not start driving without putting tranny into "D" (or "R"). While I was on the phone, she turned the engine off and started it again. This time everything worked and she was able to put tranny into "D". I thought it was some sort of an electric glitch and told her not to worry about it. Well three days later it happened again! (And again I was not around.) This time the trick with turning it OFF and ON did not work (initially.) She tried it 7-10 times but the car was still locked up. So she called me again. I said to her to wait for me to pick her up in 20 minutes. A minute later she called again saying that finally she was able to "unlock" the car after the n-th switching on/off try. Very strange. It has not happened since then. I drove the car on the weekend and I did not notice anything different about the car or the way it drives. Anybody got any ideas about this "locking up" thing?
