Owner Complaints (1)
Your car's electronic system is incorrectly signaling that the transmission is in neutral, preventing it from starting normally. You can temporarily fix this by removing and reinserting the ESC fuse, but the problem returns and causes transmission fluid to burn as the system keeps telling the car it's in neutral. This is also affecting your fuel economy gauge readings. The underlying issue likely involves the ESC module or its wiring harness and may require replacement or reprogramming of the electronic control system.
