Sometimes, starting within the last 3 weeks or so and not in the 38,000 km before that, when I shift into reverse to back out of my driveway the car acts like it is still in park or neutral. Almost like the shifter is not making contact with some switch that tells the transmission to engage reverse. If I simply shift back into park and then back to reverse all is good. There are no problems with the transmission, jut getting it into reverse. The shifter itself does not bind or do anything odd. It is NOT simply cold oil taking a couple of seconds to engage the gear, it does not know that it is in reverse. No codes at all and dealer is at a loss. I seem to always, because of my amount of driving and the high km that my cars eventually have, always have problems that my dealer has never seen before. Ideas?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
