We have a 2009 1.2 500 which occasionally gets stuck (mainly) in second gear
It seems to happen mostly at slower speeds but when it gets stuck nothing seems to move it except maybe turning everything off and starting again
the proble is it seems to happen at busy junctions or roundabouts and you don't really have time to assess it as you need to get out of the way
It's happened to me once and i think just rolled along constantly putting the clutch in and out until it freed but it's my mum's car and it's happened to her a few times
This causes sheer panic and now she doesn't want to drive it
I wonder if this is familiar to anyone and what might cause it
Otherwise it's fine. Gear changes are a little notchy but otherwise everything seems fine. Clutch is normal, not particularly high or low
It's done 129000 miles
