Typical transmission symptoms owners report
- The gear shift selector button gets stuck and fails to release, letting the shifter move between gears without pressing it, sometimes causing the car to slip into neutral or reverse while driving.
- Owners describe the shifter button breaking or cracking, which traps the ignition key in place after the car is put in park.
- A transmission control module failure triggered check engine and traction control warning lights during highway driving and required dealer replacement.
- Some owners report harsh or delayed shifting along with slipping, describing the transmission as acting up even after a repair attempt.
