Transmission intermittently drops out of gear. Most of the time this is when in reverse and moving backwards. All of a sudden you realize you are no longer moving backwards and in some cases rolling forward. On one occasion is has popped out of gear and stopped moving forward leaving me half out of a parallel parked space with oncoming traffic. These incidents occur approximately once a month. In every case on failure when you look at the gear selector it has a flashing light.
