Is the Lavida rolling backward when exiting an underground parking lot a transmission issue?
2 Answers
The Lavida rolling backward when exiting an underground parking lot is not a transmission issue. The reason is that the clutch contact point was not lifted sufficiently (the clutch was lifted too low), or no throttle was applied (the car's idle speed is inherently low and insufficient to initiate movement) before releasing the handbrake. Solution after rolling backward: Restart the car, press the clutch and brake, keep the clutch at the semi-engaged state, and then press the throttle while releasing the clutch. Key points to avoid stalling or rolling backward on a slope: Press the foot brake as firmly as possible to ensure sufficient braking force; once the clutch reaches the semi-engagement point, hold it steady without excessive shaking, then slowly release the brake.
I've also experienced the embarrassing situation of the Lavida rolling back when exiting an underground parking lot. It's really frustrating, but it's not necessarily the transmission's fault. Transmission issues like dual-clutch slipping or torque converter failure can indeed cause insufficient power, making the car prone to rolling back on slopes. But don't panic, there are other common reasons: first, improper operation, such as not firmly engaging the D gear in an automatic transmission or not pressing the clutch tightly in a manual transmission; second, poor tire grip—if the underground garage floor is wet or oily, worn tires can easily slip; third, problems with the brake system—if the handbrake isn't fully engaged when parking or the disc brake pads are worn, insufficient friction can also cause rolling. I recommend you immediately check the road conditions, maintain a safe distance to prevent accidents, and if necessary, go to a repair shop for a comprehensive test. Don't overlook safety.
