Transmission Toast?
Posting to see if anyone else has experienced this issue. I just bought my car about 2 months ago. It has 24K miles and is well within the powertrain warranty. I was heading to a training seminar for work this morning and about half way there my car throws a CEL. A message pops up and says "service stabilitrak" and another saying "service rear parking assist." Next thing I know my transmission starts to lose torque and my car seems to be stuck in 3-4th gear(A6 btw). Fortunately for me there is a stealership on the way to this training. By the time I get the car there and to the service area, the car is hardly able to pull under its own power. Anyone have an idea what this could be? I did quite a bit of research on this car prior to purchasing and seemed like a really good deal.. I am scared I have purchased a lemon.

Your still in warranty, let the dealership take care of it and figure out what the issue is.

I hope it's something simple. I agree with Dizzy82 you still have your warranty.
Good luck. Update when you know more. |

Some of the older gm stuff used to poop random stuff like this up and default to 3rd and the ignition switch was toast. Not sure on the camaro though, I haven't wrenched in a couple years.

This sounds like some sort of computer error to me. I would think if it were mechanical there would be some kind of signs of issues not just quit all at once.

I just heard from the dealer today... In his words, the transmission was "gutted"... I'm not sure what could have caused this.. I have babied the car since I have been the owner and never heard any signs of issues. I actually had the oil changed at this specific dealer not even a week before and my car received a clean bill of health. The tech is quoting me about 3 weeks to repair. They have to drop the tranny and completely rebuild it.

I'm sure it is something the previous owner must of did to it; probably treating it like a rental. These automatic transmissions are fairly bullet-proof. I was told mine needed no mods to handle my high horsepower load at all.
Good luck and be glad it's still under warranty.

Well good new guys, I just picked up my car after work this evening. The transmission tech went to work this morning and ran his computer on the car. They found a code the car threw for being revved past 6.2k RPMs. I asked the tech how this could have happened considering I was cruising at around 2k RPMS when this happened. Tech informed me that he noticed my car is driven in the sports/manual mode a high percentage of the time and can cause this sensor to go out. I am guilty of this, so I guess sports mode is only for the track now.. The tech replaced the sensor, changed my trans oil and drove the car for a while. Its now shifting fine. Heads up for you M users out there
