Been living with the shifting into drive problem on our cx5 for almost a year. I have read a few people on here having similar experiences, but there cars were low mileage, and the dealer replaced their transmissions every time.
I've got 50k on it, it started at 42k, and has gotten a little worse. I'm hoping someone will pin point the problem, and not just do a "total parts replacement "
What I've learned: When we first start the car (cold start). The car will not s*** into drive. You can shift into reverse, back to park, etc. But drive feals just like neutral. If you rev the engine in drive it will eventually catch and lunge forward. What we do is let it warm up for a minute or 2 and shift into drive, then s*** to neutral, then drive, them neutral, etc. Eventually it catches without lunging because we never accelerated in drive until it rolled on its own. And this is deffinetly a temperature thing. If it's a hot day, the cold start shift delay is almost non existent. But as it's getting colder, it is taking literly 5 mins to get the car to s*** into drive. Once you get it into drive it never has a problem again until the next cold start.
Anyone have new experiences with this?
