Unhappy My Luck ran out on new car.

Got my car on Friday night. Saturday took it to the inspection station to get it inspected. Came home, washed it and went to take it for a drive. When I started it, 8 fault lights come on. PDCC, ABS, Transmission might not work in Reverse, park brake not working, 4 wheel steering, on/off disengage, Sport mode off and Rear wheel steering. Tried to drive it and the transmission is clunky in first 4 gears. Does shift okay with paddles. Only 23 miles and to the dealer tomorrow. Sucks big time.

Sorry to hear. Deep breath. Prob just a sensor or something simple. They will fix it. Wishing you better luck and many miles/years of driving enjoyment!

It's probably the crankshaft sensor. Have it checked out. Mine was acting all weird for a week and then it escalated to delayed starts to not starting at all. My car has been in the workshop for a week and they just got the part today, so I should hopefully get it by tomorrow. Best of luck!

One week to get a sensor, that is just insane. Why so long?

They had to order in the part from Germany and more like 10 days

Can't they keep a few in stock just in case?!

Have they not heard of Fed Ex or DHL for next day delivery? That's the least they can do when spending a $180K.

Crazy. Hopefully it's a simple fix or replacement of a faulty sensor. You'll have your baby back in no time!

Right rear wheel sensor wire was frayed and causing a short. Quick fix, took 1 hour, and now I'm ready to roll.
