Why does my Smart Fortwo not go into reverse?
Gear shift lever freezes in park & therefore will not allow car to move. It’s a problem that happens about once a week, the car won’t go into reverse, and sometimes won’t go into any gear at all. This has been recurring for 2 years, and the dealership pretends there is no problem.
