i HAVE A 2.9 DISEL SEDONA 2005(55) i have found that the gears stick going into 1st gear 3 rd gear and fith gear can cause me problems .This does not happen all the time usually, when i have had a good drive and come to a halt and it happens when i move up the gears. ,i had to stop on the hard shoulder stop car wait a few mins then start it back up it moved away without any trouble.
when i took it to the garage were i bought it within the 30days they said it was fine and could not find anything wrong, they said if it was gearbox problem the fault would always be in box due to set up of the gears ,but with 2 kids in back and a baby i am worried any help or advice would be very gratfull ..gail

this sounds like the gear linkage's are binding up or catching on something .. have the dealer take a look at the linkages !
