Stuck CVT then no Cruise control
Posted: Sun Jul 04, 2010 5:34 am
Today we decided to take the car for a long drive. I used cruise control the whole time till 200km later when I suddenly felt the CVT was stuck in one ratio (it felt like it was in the simulated 4th or maybe 5th gear). Paddle shifter weren't responding even in manumatic mode. I couldn't go any faster then 100km/hr since the RPM was already at 3800 and not shifting up. I continued to drive for about 4KM more hoping CVT would release it self but it did not. I then decided to pull over in the gravel covered shoulder. I stopped the engine for 10 seconds and started the engine again. It drove fine for about 10km and then it happened again. Drove for another 5 km and it happened again then CEL finally came on. I then decided to stop at a service center to rest the car for 10 minutes and to check CTV fluid.
We continued our journey with the CEL on but I was in manual mode the whole time. Pulleys never got stuck in manual mode.
By the way Cruise control stopped working (CRUISE light on dash not lighting up) since the CEL came on.
I will take the car back to the dealer on Monday. I hope it is nothing serious.
