| Description of the problem | The vehicle will sometimes go forward eventhough the gear shift is in the r position for reverse. And the opposite happens. I may go in reverse eventhough the gear is in the d position for drive. -- i believe the above happens if i shift gears too quickly before the car finishes its system check. -- that is my own troubleshooting effort/opinion. The wrong motion happens when starting from a stationary position. For example starting the car and wanting to drive forward out of a parking spot or wanting to go reverse to back out of a garage. ---- it's happened several times. I notified the deal sales rep back in oct. When it first happened. It's happend a couple other times and finally i found this website after it happened again this week. |
