gear problem

When the car is in sport mode and I push it.changing from 1st gear to 2nd gear it jerks/lurches. The traction light comes on and the car slows down. This happened right after I picked up my car from the plan B service. It's always been smooth switching gears and now from 1st gear to 2nd gear it has a problem changing. Any thoughts?

Did you check your miles when you picked up the car? I have heard of horror stories of mechanics taking joy rides and messing up the car.

Shoooot Alqamzi, sorry to hear that. I hate that kind of stuff. I would do what was mentioned and look at the reciept and check milages to compare any differences, BUT I highly doubt that someone raped your car while at the dealer. ( I would pray not because that would cause for a visit from me to the manager).

If that happens, you DEFINITELY need to take it back. Something is wrong with transmission (RARE). Maybe its a computer ECU problem?

Keep us posted...

If there's a problem make Murray get you a new car. They are prone to damaging cars. My mom took her s600 there once and never again will they touch that car.

I'm sure everything will get fixed tho. Hit me up when u get your car back and let's go cruising.

What I have learned is never go to a dealership alone. NEVER. Always take reinforcements. Any issues, call me and I will cancel work and fly out to go with you...

That kind of stuff grinds my gears...

I was just going to ask you if they flashed your ECU or TCU.... sometimes the mechanics will do this automatically whether you tell your service adviser about it or not.

This should be an easy fix.... contact Cory at Kleemann and have him re-flash your ECU back to the tuned file.
