It is a vvti free tronic. When driving it sometimes it comes out of gear and other times wont go into any gear at all. Yesterday it would not let me go from second gear into third or fourth. Changing the gears when stationary is fine no problems at all, very smooth it is only when driving. When it wont go into any gear when driving if switch car off and leave for about fifteen minutes after that it is okay again! Help please as it is scary when it does happen.

Have a transmission specialist for codes. This is a CVT transmission so a transmission specialist has to scan it first.

Car is a write off! Clutch has gone. Going to cost $400.00 to $500.00 to repair when I only paid $300.00 for it in first place. Trying to get my money back now when I only bought it three weeks ago. Nightmare!
