Description of the problem | For about a 1. 5 months, i have been having major issues with smg. In the morning on startup. I put the car in reverse, it shows (r). I step on the gas and it revs and doesn't do anything. You then hear a loud clunk and it pops back to neutral. Same thing with drive in which there is a huge delay even when it shows 1. Extremely scary when you have traffic coming up behind you and you can't get into gear. I have opened dialogues with bmwna, my local dealer, the gm of my local dealer donna tafoya and at this moment, the only error they got was a szl failure. (replaced 2x already) other than that, no faults whatsoever so to them, it's a "ghost" issue. Puma case has also been created and the field rep will be out here on the 15th. In the meantime, i still do not have a car i can trust and this is my daily driver. *nm |
