2005 aveo starts off in third or fourth gear???? The car will not start off in first gear. It also does not shift at all. The hold button does not light up any lights on the dash. Any help would be great. Thanks

    I have tried to put it manually into 1st and 2nd gear. It doesn't help and it doesn't even feel like the transmission shifts when i do this. That is why i think the problems might be with the hold button due to the fact that the hold light on the dash will not light up no matter how many times i press the hold button.

    Sorry I don't have a solution, but Have you tried to manually shift it, that is, put the shifter in 1st, and to shift it like you would a manual trans.? This of course is not a fix, but will hopefully allow you to use the vehicle as necessary until it's fixed, and to avoid the strain on it of starting up in 3rd or 4 th gear.

Well im guessing it an automatic sooo it think you need a new transmission bc i had a old nissan stanza and my tranny did the same thing and i pulled it out took it apart and saw that the internals were shot. Now being that the car is really new i would suggest bringing it back to were you bought it from or call to see if theres a warrenty that covers powertrain on your car. It may also be a sensor located on the transmission but im not to familiar with its design. But if its that new definitley try to get it to the dealer

Why will our 2004 Chevy Aveo not shift into fourth gear or "overdrive"?

Connecting it to a scan tool will give you the answer in the form of codes, AKA DTC codes. The engine light is the clue, the scan tool tells the answers via the codes. All the codes are online.
