This may be an electrical issue. 50% of auto gear issues are external to it.

kenobi007:
Pls I need ur expert opinion. As a first time buyer should I buy a Honda 08 whose only problem is to service the engine nozzle

MotorGuru:


Sorry boss... That gear is gone.. Prepare for a replacement. Where are you located?

hyundai Tucson SUV 2013 model; the gear is not selecting, the electrician said it's the sensor which he changed to a new one but yet it's still not selecting. What could be the issue?

MotorGuru:


question sir, did you at anytime experience a huge jerk at high speed before this happened? Did your gear indicator indicate being stuck in gear 4 when put in manual mode? Is it only engaging in reverse? Has your fliud ever being changed( and what was its condition? Black?) Do you hear whining noise when drive or reverse is selected and you rev the car?
Finally, you may need to scan the vehicle to ascertain the real cause... Pls let me know of any of these ever happened.

AlphaT1:

Yes the jerk at high speed happened while travelling,
it's stuck on gear 3 in manual mode,
yes it's engaging well in reverse,
the fluid has never been changed, the Mechanic checked its condition ad said it was ok.
There is no whining noise neither in drive nor reverse mode.
The vehicle was scanned and according to the electrician it was the gear sensor that was bad and he replaced it but the issue still persists.

GAZZUZZ:


gear might still be in excellent working condition.

If the vehicle throws a camshaft/crank sensor code, car goes into limp mode and gets stuck in 3rd gear, same thing if if the transmission fuse blows or its relay malfunctions. I think user should post the scan code before we jump into conclusions.

Kia/hyundai have very solid transmissions.

MotorGuru:


What specific model of Honda are you referring to sir?

kenobi007:


Accord. Evil spirit

MotorGuru:



Sir, it is not.

The customer confirmed that there was a loud bang at top speed, and a loud bang denotes a serious mechanical issue may have occurred in the transmission already, caused by a defective valve body. All forward gears may have been lost (except gear 3) as a result. This was very peculiar to early models of the 2011 KIA optima which used the 6 speed auto atic transmission ( A6MF1/A6LF1) transmission I mentioned the KIA optima because it has the same transmission design, as many of the KIA/ Hyundai products introduced from 2011 up. The original cause of this problem was the valvebody but this ended up destroying the transmission itself. Fortunately it was only to a few examples and failure rate was not

high.https://forums.edmunds.com/discussion/13960/kia/optima/2011-kia-optima-transmission-failure

That said, save these few glitches, the transmission has proven to be very reliable as you rightly said.

Carry on brother, we are all learning.

New fuel pump , eflow meter has bough and fixed. The brain box has checked and worked upon and confirmed okay. Still the problem persit. Please what do think could be wrong with the car. Thanks.

deavicky:
My Honda CRV 2000 model has k leg. What do I do about it.

MotorGuru:

I would suspect the following:
1. EGR valve
2. Ignition coils, nozzles and plugs
3. MAF sensor.

I would have said scan the car but, oh well

It's a GDI. always centered around fuel pressure and TPS.

Greetings sir.
Please what is your take on 2010 VW Tiguan? Economy? Ruggedness? Costs?
Thanking you

MotorGuru:


Nice SUV. Not your typical rav4, as it is equipped with a TSI turbo engine( 1.4L or 2.0L)
Let us ignore the diesels.
Smart maintenance is key. Fuel economy is superb for a compact SUV.
cost of running is not bad, but it is higher than your typical japmobiles
ruggedness? it will not withstand abuse ( i mean using wrong oils, quack mechanics,killer rewires etc)

MotorGuru:
Here for free consultation

Zane2point4:


Good morning sir, i must commend you for your nice works on this forum, it's very very insightful and concise.

i need your help, i Really love the "2008 or 2009 honda accord" (evil spirit) but so many people advised me not to go for it intead i should go for the more durable 08 toyota.

my question goes thus, is the 08 honda difficult and expensive to maintain?

how is the fuel consumption?

is the parts costly?


thanks.

MotorGuru:


Very nice and sporty sedan( compared to the camry)
Not difficult to maintain( particularly the 4 cylinder version)
Fuel consumption is very reasonable
Parts? well they are available. Costly? it depends on your financial standing

Zane2point4:


nice analysis, i can maintain it, the question should be how often does it need maintenance, well thanks so much.

J0hnTrevolt:
Nice job u r doing MotorGuru. Plz my question is this. Between front and rear shock absorber which is more important to replace in a situation where both are worn out and money no too dy to replace both.
Tnx

Jasonudo:

Good morning Sir.
Thank you.
In your opinion, Sir you tip the 2006 Lexus RX 330 over the 2010 VW Tiguan?
