| Description of the problem | Cold weather problem. 29 degf outside on occurrence. Shifter will not move from "park" position. This has cleared up before after letting vehicle warm up. It is still in this condition presently. I rocked vehicle forward and back, checked fuses, let it warm up to 39 deg f outside with the vehicle running for 20 minutes. Still stuck in park. Last winter the shift lever would move into position, but the transmission would not engage until after the vehicle warmed up. The fiat dealership did a firmware flash update which cleared that up. Now this. This is a 2014 fiat 500l i have seen other reports of the same problem on fiat owner blogs indicating this is a "common" problem which needs to be addressed. One blog suggested it may be voltage related. |
