To put a long story short; Around 3 months ago my car started saying 'Check Transmission' 'Drive mode not available', however, this only comes up after about 10 minutes of driving and occasionally will go off itself and then come back on. If I need to put my car into park whilst this light it on then I need to restart my car otherwise it's locked into park. It's not effecting the car really, I can still drive no problem, it's just inconvenient and a tad annoying.
I am so absolutely irritated right now and I just need some answers. Most garages will not even look at my car because it's a semi-automatic and they don't do automatic transmissions.
I had 2 garages connect my car to a diagnostic machine, nothing came up to indicate any issues.
I then took it to an independent FIAT garage, who had my car for 6(ish) hours, hooked it up to a fiat specific diagnostic machine and again NOTHING. Luckily he didn't charge me because he couldn't find an issue, other than it saying 'Check transmission' 'Drive mode not available'.
So I decided to get a car service, thinking it might help as they top up the oils and such. This also didn't fix it and they reported no problems.
It's passed its MOT with no problems.
Im so desperate!!!
