I have a 2010 fortwo which I purchased at the end of December 2010. I also have problem with the reverse gear as follows: After shifting from park to reverse, I step on the gas and it does not reverse so I step on the brakes immediately…

I know this is an old post, but I think you all should be made aware the little warranty isn't the ONLY warranty when it comes to defective parts and workmanship, in the USA. The Magnusson-Moss Warranty Protection Act 15USC50 section 2300, with…

I'm still fighting my bill with Smart for this upgrade. Corporate is still "working" on it. I have the extended warranty. I was shocked to be told that there is a $100 deductible every time the warranty is engaged. Is this normal? My…

Yes that was the right thing to do calling Smart corporate... And you should have called the COPS... You were ROBBED...!!!...<:-((
Yes this Smart outfit just keeps Driving-Nails-In-Their-Coffin...
MoonTrout replied to Francis PoWell's discussion 'smart fortwo transmission problem'
I took my Smarty in for it's regular check up and also for the continuing transmission problems. They performed a "new clutch software update" version # 4519022600 and, get this, charged me $151 in labor!!!! I am OUTRAGED and called…
Brabus007 replied to Francis PoWell's discussion 'smart fortwo transmission problem'
I agree... Any software refinement should be FREE...<:-((
It is Free if you have a (1)Dealer Diagnosed Reverse Problem... If that don't fix it (2) its a NEW CLUTCH...
Note: I was having snatchy Shifting on the 3 & 4 Shift, so they gave…
MoonTrout replied to Francis PoWell's discussion 'smart fortwo transmission problem'
But let me ask this? Why on earth should you have had to pay $42 for this "update"? This is Smart's fault and Smart should continue to work on it until it is fixed. I have had all of the "fixes" everyone has spoken of (with…

I just had my car in to the Dealer for the Newest Tranny Update Software $42.00 It was called "soft shift reverse fix combined update"... Downloaded from germany straight into my OBDII port...

I have a similar problem with 2008 PassionForTwo, which has occurred four times in the 28 months and 13K miles of ownership. I'm happily driving along until I reach my destination, then I need to go into Reverse to park. The shifter works…

I'm in Guadalajara Sep - Apr. I don't know how Smart works its Warranty but if you continue to have problems, you may be able to have a Handler change-out the shifter to the one fitted to the Smarts in Mexico. I have been told the…
JM Davis replied to Francis PoWell's discussion 'smart fortwo transmission problem'
What is happening with your S42 now, Moon Trout? I have sent all these pages to my file and will take them to my dealer should I have a problem again...So far so good but I am hearing on here that some are still NOT fixed. I drive SASSY so little.…
Brabus007 replied to Francis PoWell's discussion 'smart fortwo transmission problem'
Lots of people have had the whole shifter replaced... They made some bad ones... Yours must be one...<:-((
Veronica replied to Francis PoWell's discussion 'smart fortwo transmission problem'
The shift link lubrication was the first repair job. I don't know if they used real grease, but It didn't work. The second repair replaced the clutch plate. I still occassionally experience the same problem. Sometimes, it won't go…

I live in Tequisquiapan in the state of Queretaro about 3 hrs from Mexico City. I drove here in May with my US bought Smart.
Dave Stephenson replied to Francis PoWell's discussion 'smart fortwo transmission problem'
As I understand it it is the Shift link not anything to do with the Tranny. Lubrication seeps out and then prevents the shifter from engaging the pin that allows you into reverse. I have a 2008 with 15000 miles with no problems. It was Number 43 in…

- Hi!
I’m Kevin, live in West Jordan, and own a 2009 BRABUS. I invite you to join the Smarter Utah group at www.smartUSAinsider.com/group/SmarterUtah.
After driving my smart for a while and turning heads everywhere I went, I thought it would be fun to get together with other local smart owners. I’m too busy to try to host a picnic or a rally, so I went looking for events others might be organizing near my home, but didn’t find any. I scoured the online sites of smart USA insider, smartcar of America, Club smart car, and 451 smart fortwo and the closest thing I could find to a Salt Lake Valley or Wasatch Front smart club was the Smarter Utah group. You gave your location as Salt Lake, so will you join us? Once enough of us are connected, we can get some events organized.
