wade001 Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 hey all, i have a weird one.. has anyone ever heard of this, or had experience with this? yesterday, after work, i was driving home. traveling down the road at about 45-50 mph, and i feel a light thump in the pedal and i see a message flash on the dash board screen. but as soon as it popped up it went away so i didnt see exactly what it was. then a couple seconds later it happens again, and i notice that the gear shift light on "D" goes out and "R" lights up briefly, then i see the "rear park aid on/off" box pop up on the dash board screen. keep in mind im traveling down the road at approximately 45-50mph at this time (forwards). this repeated itself 4 times within 15 seconds or so, then everything seems fine. i pulled off into a parking lot, turned the vehicle off, then back on. i revved it a little, no weird noises, backed up in the parking lot, went forward, put it in "sport" mode, did a couple hard accelerations, no slipping or anything.. almost like it never happened. so, my question, has anyone ever had this happen, heard of it happening? possible just some gremlins somewhere? maybe a gear selection solenoid/switch going out? etc? vehicle specs in sig below, thanks!

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 what MY is your vehicle? could be a range sensor or a shifter switch going bad. it is an electronically controlled transmission, so these glitches should not actually cause a physical problem, but you never know. sidebar: have you checked battery health lately? could be prompting this issue.

wade001 Posted August 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 Hi, it's a 2015, sel, awd. It has 49.6k miles I've put 600 of those miles on it. When I bought it, a new battery was installed. But I have not verified that it was the proper size. I just assumed the selling dealer did their homework and put in the proper size. So on that note, I will verify the battery later this evening when I get home from work. Thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Have you considered having your dealer check for any codes? Could be a sign of something serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your input. would definitely check codes as enigma said, the shifter switch is known to go bad, but it could be a range sensor issue as well. parts store scanners should pull up any powertrain codes, but best to equip yourself for the long run with an OBD II adapter and Forscan Lite and/or Torque Pro software.

Bmo Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Wade001, this issue just happened to me…what did you discover the issue to be and how was it resolved? I’m hoping it was something simple and inexpensive. Thanks for any advice you can provide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
