I was backing the car out of my driveway when the car stopped moving in reverse and moved forward. After stopping the car I attempted to back it again with the same results only the car moved forward enough to hit my fence causing minor damage to the driver side bumper. I called my dealership and the sent a tow truck and towed the car to the dealership. When I arrived at the dealership I was told that the car would probably need a new transmission. After a few days the service department call and said the car did in fact need a new transmission. This is a new car about four months old with maybe 5,000 miles on it.
When I shift the gears from drive to reverse and vice versa - I can hear the cliking as it shift s and jerks as it does it.
