| Description of the problem | We've been dealing with this issue since before christmas with our new fiat 500. I was able to drive it for a couple of weeks with the check engine light staying on, and once in a while the shifter panel lights flashing for about 30 seconds before i was able to drive it while we waited for parts. It took two weeks for the dealership to get a new control module in, first they got a module that didn't work, then they got one that did work and we thought it was fixed. Last night my wife is driving home from work on the expressway and suddenly the "no gear found" error pops up on the the dashboard display, the transmission disengaged into neutral. No acceleration whatsoever. The engine is still running, the brakes work, the lights are on, but no gears. She was able to coast to the shoulder, called a tow truck and got it back to the dealership. We are waiting on parts again. |
