Okay, maybe that leak was transmission fluid, not oil??

This morning I'm about a mile from home and put it in reverse to back up as a tree is in the road that i need a better angle to get around... and the car wont go back in drive. At all.

I got home today and was told a few hours later that it would engage but that there was "definitely a problem." Can't get the car seen at dealer in ATL until Wednesday. Anyone experienced this? Covered by warranty?

Thanks,

Mike

 

Sorry to ask the obvious but have you checked the transmission fluid level? If it is indeed low try topping it off until you can get to the dealer.

Good luck,

Ben

Hi Mike:

Do you have a "Check Engine" light? The Tip will default in reverse if there is a problem.

You might try disconnecting the battery for 3 minutes and reconnecting to see if that helps get you going but the car needs to be scanned with a PST-2, the Factory tool. If the Tip has an ECU fault, this is what they do.

Most definitely, this will be covered by warranty.
