Yet again, my car is out of commision ): help

NAMer's!!

Once again my CVT R50 is out of commission. Earlier I posted a thread that stated I got P0705, at first my car wasn't shifting smoothly. And then park didn't work so I could only start my car in neutral and had to make sure my e-brake is on when I parked. Then reverse didn't work an had to push my car out of spots. And now my car can't select a gear and my car won't start. What do I do?!

Please help.

You do a search on CVT issues yet?
Not really much you can do...
Maybe you will be lucky and find it is the cvt computer ....
But often it is the tranny that needs replacement.... About a $6500 issue....nothing magical here...a $$$ part that costs lots $$$ and needs expertise has failed....generally most indepent shops do not work on CVT.....even getting a reman unit from a non-dealer is iffy.
Good luck.
