#2013 smart fortwo owners manual update#

Flat bedded the smart to the Portland Or dealer. Shop diagnosed sensor problem, not able to repair. When vehicle was parked, and then restarted, would not go into any gear, even though shift lever was operable. Transmission would only drive in 4th gear. DEALER COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE! Had to run car with heater full blast until cabin warm, about 1 hour, before being able to shift into drive. When temperature below -20C, could not shift out of park. The reverse software module was upgraded. Needs to go in for another trip to be diagnosed. The reverse gear sometimes does not engage. Replaced gear selector unit inside of car

Software update was performed of the Sprintshift Control Module to resolve the complaint. Transmission slow to engage into reverse at times or will not engage until lever is moved from R to P back to R. Smog cert., flush brake fluid, computer update to correct intermittent not shifting into reverse. I did not take car to Mercedes because you at dealership you speak with a concierge, not a mechanic. The car still doesn't go into reverse on occasion. Repaired Transmission Control Module and Starter Wire. Mercedes would not replace the unit under warranty. Cost: $200Д¬lutch actuator motor shaft broke had to replace the entire clutch actuator (could not just buy the motor)Д¬ar died after clutch actuator repair within one day. Replace actuator with gently used one DIY. water worked its' way up to the electric motor leaving entire mechanism useless. aluminum casing corroded past the gasket and allowed water to enter. Problem seems to be solved.Д¬lutch actuator failed. Dealer upgraded and replaced clutch plate. Car would intermittently not move when in reverse.
