Hey People,
Last Saturday, my transmission locked itself into park and I had to use the safety release to get it into drive. My AC then stopped working, and the defrost light came came on without me pushing the defrost button. I then noticed that the overdrive lost most of it's power, and the engine was shaking more than usual. Finally, my turn signals went out, and the battery light came on briefly.

I took it to the Dealer, and the service guy told me that they couldn't figure out what the problem was and they were still looking into it(My car was in the same spot and it looked like it hadn't moved since I left it there). The only mods I have are an intake,header,exhaust, and aftermarket tail lights. I also had aftermarket seats for a brief period, but that was a couple of weeks ago. I don't know what to do at this point. Have any of you had similar problems, or is this a first in the Yarisworld?
