Hi everyone, I need some advice. I have a 2011 Volvo S40, and after parking, when I shift from D to P, I can't remove the key. I have to restart the engine, reverse, then go forward, and try parking again. Sometimes it takes several tries before I can remove the key. Is this a transmission issue or something else?

There is a Hall sensor under the gear lever, and it's the one that malfunctioned. It detects the gear position, which means sometimes it can't detect if the gear lever is in the "P" position.

I have the same issue. Did you manage to resolve yours? How did you fix it? Mine isn't working manually either! [Facepalm]

Check the dust cover below the gear lever.

Transmission and louvers need to be checked using a computer.

My 2007 S40 has power throughout the car, but there's no response when I try to start it. I'm not sure what the problem is.

Does anyone know why my 2014 Touran, which has 140,000 km on it, sometimes has the D gear light flashing while driving and the accelerator doesn't respond? I have to turn off the engine, switch to P gear, and restart the car to drive again. What could be causing this?

Guys, today I tried flooring it in Sport+ mode and heard a rustling sound that lasted about 5 seconds before disappearing. No error codes on the dashboard, and the car drives fine. However, when I parked and shifted to P, there was a continuous electrical noise. The noise disappeared after switching to neutral and back to P. Could there be an issue with the transmission? How should I check it?

Does the Acura RDX have auto hold parking? And how can the 180 km/h speed limit be removed?

Guys, I'm really freaking out. Just now, while driving smoothly, the D gear light (the one on the gear shift) started flashing, and the dashboard showed "Please shift to D gear first before selecting the appropriate gear." I was in a panic and didn't know whether to press the brake and shift to P gear or shift to P gear and then to D gear, and then it prompted "Speed too high to shift into D gear (or maybe P gear, I forgot)." It was terrifying, the car felt like it was in neutral and there was no power when I pressed the accelerator. I managed to park on the side using inertia, shifted back to P gear, and then to D gear, and it resumed normal driving. I want to ask you guys, what's going on here exactly? Is there a specific part that's malfunctioning?

Please don't remove the key next time you park, I want to "purchase" for zero dollars.

I have a 2023 JETOUR X90 Zilong. When driving at low speeds, if I press the accelerator, the car suddenly surges forward. However, after reaching 70 km/h, if I release the accelerator and then try to accelerate again, there's about a 2-second delay before the car suddenly surges forward. Is this throttle response delay a common issue?

Car enthusiasts: Can you please advise, do you have to be in the P gear when turning off the engine for the Changan? Can you park and turn off the engine in the N gear and then switch to P gear? Thanks!

Hey folks, when starting the car cold and switching from P to D, the transmission makes a clunking sound. Also, when parking and switching from D to P, the car lurches forward a bit. Any idea what's causing this?
