It only happens every 5th or 6th time, but it happens, usually when just starting the car after it has been parked. The FIAT service technician asked if I might have bumped the gear shift into the manual mode, which would explain this. But I never have done this, and when it happens I check the “+” and “-“ symbols and they are not illuminated, meaning they are not engaged. The technician said I can bring it in, but if it doesn’t demonstrate the problem while it’s there, and if their diagnostic equipment doesn’t show any faults, there is nothing he can do.
My solution so far when this happens is to use the paddles on the steering wheel to shift up. But I may want to sell it at some point, and prospective buyers may be put off by this issue. Anyone else experience this problem with their automatic, and found a fix?
Grazie Millie!
