Son's car. Bought it from someone who maintained it well. No leaks at all, transmission fluid changed on time, shifts super smooth and on the dot.. 4 months later son drove it home last night parked it, started it to go and she won't go reverse or drive, I also noticed putting it in drive gives me a N on cluster, so it isn't matching, no matter where you put it, it acts as neutral. Pulled codes: 4F84, 4F97.

Hi,

Both of these codes are related to the transmission. I have a couple of questions. When you shift gears, does the indicator always show N?

Have you checked the transmission fluid and condition? Have you scanned the can/bus?

By any chance, do you have the P codes?
Let me know.
