| Description of the problem | When starting and moving into a drive gear from park, or while at a stop in drive, the vehicle will suddenly lose its drive letter display and will feel like the transmission is not engaged. This is still occurring after the dealership inspected the vehicle for this issue. This issue has occurred repeatedly. After the vehicle is turned off then on, the drive letter display reappears with the drive letter that i moved the transmission shifter to. When the transmission is moved to reverse, the drive letter disappears again. Sometimes this happens 3 or 4 times immediately in a row. It has also happened while in drive at a stop and has required that i turn off the engine then turn it on again to see the drive letters. |
