Hello, first of all problems my car failed emmissions took it to a mechanic and things went not so well. Codes of trouble were P0442 & P0456 mechanic fixed the issue, but when I was gonna drive away from his property I stepped on the brake putting the car in gear as you would. But, the gear was like butter it just moved with no effort and when I did get it to drive I released the break accept the car jerked a lil bad, so I went to step on the break and couldn't the thing was locked as a matter of fact when I did step on it hard to the floor the car accelerated a lil on its own. I got scared and had no choic but to pull emergency break and put it in gear. Went back in to shop told owner he took it back in and I dont know what he did, but it worked I drove away now I look and less than 5 months later the check engine light is back on. Can you help me as to solutions? Not wanting to go back there but seeing as the problem started there I would have no choice and not looking forward to a bill for false repairs unless I sue him. Thanks..

The fact that you don't know what the guy did when he took the can back in is a concern, because it gives no clue as to the problem being associated with the original fault or not. If you didn't get an explanation, then its a little unfair to sugest that you might get billed for false repairs. The fact that the car has run for 5 months since would suggest that whatever he did was a good fix anyway. The check engine light being on doesn't indicate that the fault is the same this time and it will need some diagnostics to figure out what the engine management system has recorded this time. The fact that the problem started there (and by the way it didn't... It started before you went there), doesn't lock you into having to go back. Any good mechanic will pick up the issue from fresh and sort it out for you. By the way, the original errors of P0442 - Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (small leak) and

P0456 - Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (very small leak)
sound very unlikely indeed to be related to the issue you describe with the gear select, I'd go so far as to say there was no way they were connected and the guy probably did some good work for you The fact that you don't know what the guy did when he took the can back in is a concern, because it gives no clue as to the problem being associated with the original fault or not.
