Complaint involving shifting problems. When i get in my car and i put in drive the light starts flashing and my vehicle does not move. I have to put in park turn off the vehicle and turn it back on and do it all over again until it finally catches the gears and lets me drive off. I also have the same problem when i put the vehicle in reverse. The light that flashes is the one above the shifting nob.

This start stop feature can be disabled after the vehicle is started, but cannot be set by default to disable this feature. I understand the fuel saving issue, however but many of us have been driving for many years and we do a lot of…
