4matic popped out of gear after hitting a bump?
Anyone else ever have that happen?
took off from a light, hit a big bump, almost like a speed bump sized bump, and the car remained in Drive but just revved. Put it into neutral for a few seconds and back into drive, same, just revved.
no warnings or messages on the gauges.
pulled over, turned the car off and restarted and continued on my way.
WTF?! I won’t be hitting that bump again that’s for sure.

FTE - hey, so i've had that happen twice actually.... same as you, floored it on a flat road that had a small bump/lip in the road and as the car hit the bump the trans cut out. i pulled over and restarted and it was 100% fine. got a code saying something about wheel speed error or something but i cleared it and no issues. definitely would not (knowingly) floor it ever again over a bump!!!
I've had other weirdness related to traction control being dangerously aggressive but that was because I had replaced my tires in the back a few weeks before replacing the fronts. Traction control almost made me spin coming off a freeway exist. After turning the wheel about a half turn, there must have been a speed mismatch due to different diameter of worn and new tires.. locked everything up on one side and pulled the car aggressively into the next lane.. now I have 2 things to not do again.
Thanks guys
