Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a 2013 Panda Easy 0.9L Turbo with about 70,000 on the clock.
We have had the vehicle for less than a month when we started having issues with the transmission.
While driving the car will drop out of gear - revving as though it is in neutral even though the display reads it to still be in gear (usually 2 or 3). The warning triangle will appear and spits out the error message "gear unavailable - see manual". The only way to rectify the issue is to switch the car off for 30ish seconds and drive gently up to speed.
A bit of testing yesterday suggested the error would occur when accelerating - particularly with the pedal pushed deeply.
I have the car booked at a local Fiat service centre next week, but was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the issue before I get there.
Thanks in advance.
