Here goes, was towing a small utility trailer with motorcycle - bike weight 650 Lbs. About two hours into trip going away from home. Stopped at a rest area for about 10 minutes. restarted and pulled back on high way using smart mode. As I was just about to reach my cruising speed 65 MPH the trans mission seemed to lock up in one gear, (smart mode symbol was blue vs green) this lasted about 5 minutes. no matter what I did it would not shift (slow down speed up even tried changing the trans mode.
Then on my return trip it happened again about 1/2 hour into trip home - but I had to drive like this for about 1/2 hour before I could pull off highway, what ever I did could not get car to shift to another gear. Pulled over and shut car off for about 10 minutes. Started up and the rest of the ride home 2 1/2 hours everything was fine. during he gear lock up no problem light no indication of issues.
Stopped by the dealer to day and made an appt for them to look at it, has any one run into this type of problem before? (note dealer stated it would be a $99 charge to investigate the issue. Will keep you all informed as I have an appt on Friday.
also I know have 4K miles on the car and have not had this issue prior to the towing and have not had it since.
