1997 chevy cavalier was moved and park next to another car. It was brought to a complete stop with the brakes and then the transmission was shifted into park. As the driver was getting out of the car, the car start moving forward, rolled down a hill a crashed into trees, totaling the car. The car's transmission level was still in park. The driver was slight injured on the arm as the car hit him while getting out of the car.
My cavalier 1997 (95,000 miles) out of no reason during cold day today 1/2/08, can not move for no apparent reason. Initially I can back up my car out of the drive way, and drive a few blocks away. When I stop at the stop sign, I found the car can not move for a few feets to stuck at the middle of the road. I had waited for 5 minutes checking out what wrong with the car. Then car slowly can move. My suspect, there is suddenly no fluid in the clutch for no apparent reason.
