Description of the problem | The vehicle was parked for 8+ hours (nice and cool - no hot transmission). I started it and drove 1/4 of a mile to a stop light. As soon as the light went green, i pressed the accelerator, and the vehicle would not move! The rpms were going up into the 4,000 range, and it would not send any power to the wheels. It behaved as if it had the clutch 99% depressed, almost as if it was in neutral. I had to put my hazard lights on as full-speed traffic was bearing down upon me. I tried to switch it into manual mode, but it ignored my choice. I then moved it into park, and back to drive, to no avail. Still, it would not transmit power to the wheels. After about 60 seconds of being hung out to dry, with traffic going around me, and being fearful of someone rear-ending me at full speed, it decided to apply a very small amount of power (like maybe 10%), at very high rpms (4-5k). Even with gentle acceleration, it very sluggishly moved along, first at 10 mph, then 15 mph, etc., slipping the clutch the entire way. After about 2 miles, the transmission returned to normal. The video posted by another user is exactly what happened to me. Exceptions: temperature 101, cruise off, eco off, 7/27/15 @ 4:15 pm est. Https://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=tcvtr_zcyrs |
