Gearbox fault

[QUOTE=New2Jag;899986]I have had this issue three times now, figured I would ask around, see if anyone else has had the same issue. Not concerned yet... could just be a combination of a few things.

Here's what I got:

Started car, put it in reverse... car died. Drive indicator on the dash was flashing (R). Tried to put it in park. Could not. Tried to put it in drive. Could not. Turned car off and back on - worked fine.

Same thing a day later. But when I turned the car back on, it said in yellow in center dash (Gearbox Fault). Same thing. Couldn't put it in drive or reverse. Cycled power on car three times, nothing. Fourth time was the charm.

Anyone else [QUOTE]m[/QUOTE

I have a 2013 xjl doing the same thing except earlier it stopped and hasn't wanted to move since any ideas.

I'd start by checking the state of your battery.

They said there was a bulletin to replace a brake pressure switch which could cause the problem. I was in and out in 30 minutes. I haven't had the fault recur. Since you've had several runs at it, I'd expect it would have been in the string of attempts your dealer has tried. But, just in case....

i believe this is the issue, i never use my parking brake. Used it the first time after i would guess a year or so not using it once, same thing happened for a few days after....cleared up and hasn't done it since but the 2 are related for sure. And i never use the parking brake to store the car for more then a day, had some bad experiences with electronic parking brakes in the past for sticking.

II also the comfort control module if that goes out you'll have that same issue I just had that issue a couple of days ago if your comfort control module is disconnected or there's a wire burnt out the car will not shift out of gear and you'll get the gearbox fault it also happens on my VW Passat I don't know what's going on with these European cars these days but without that comfort control for some strange reason it doesn't want to crank and it won't shift out of gear
