    My 2016 Fiat Freemont is stuck in second gear when driving
    Answered by David Morley · 23 April 2025

    If this was a problem with the actual transmission, you’d find the problem would probably not come and go. But since it’s dependent on the battery being disconnected and then reconnected, the smart money says it’s a problem with either a sensor that sends information to the driveline computer, or the computer itself.

    You could start by scanning the vehicle to see if a dud sensor reveals itself. But you may also find that a replacement ECU (computer) is the ultimate fix.
