What are the reasons for the NETA electric car not being able to shift gears?

If your NETA electric car cannot shift gears, the first thing to check is whether the throttle handle is functioning properly. If the throttle handle is not broken, then the issue lies with the machine. Check the components: If the lubricating oil inside the transmission is not fully lubricated, starting the car for a while before shifting gears can solve the problem. If there is damage to the internal transmission components such as gears, synchronizers, or shift forks, repairs will be necessary. Check the clutch: If the clutch is not fully disengaged, try pressing the clutch pedal all the way down to see if you can shift gears. If the clutch components are damaged, repairs will be required, including replacing the friction plates, pressure plate, and release bearing. Check the push rod: If the shifting push rod is worn out, making it difficult to shift gears, try shifting a few times to see if you can engage the gear.

Recently, I drove a NETA electric car and was really frustrated by the gear shift failure. After checking, I found this kind of issue is quite common in electric vehicles, usually related to the electronic system. The shift button might have poor contact, or sensors like the brake pedal switch could be faulty—the car refuses to shift if it doesn’t detect you pressing the brake. Sometimes, it’s just a software bug where the system hasn’t fully loaded after startup. That time, I tried restarting the vehicle, pressing the brake firmly and waiting for two to three minutes before it returned to normal. If this doesn’t work, check the small battery’s charge, as a drained small battery can affect the electronic control unit. Additionally, the gear lock’s safety mechanism might be triggered by mistake, such as an unclosed door or an unfastened seatbelt. It’s good practice to take your time when starting up—wait until the dashboard indicates it’s ready before shifting. These minor issues can be annoying, but don’t worry; regular system updates and maintenance at the 4S shop can prevent them in advance.

I previously encountered a situation where the NIO electric vehicle couldn't shift gears. Based on experience, it's mainly due to hardware or software malfunctions. The gear shifting mechanism itself might be worn or loose, with the button unresponsive when pressed; it could also be a circuit connection issue, such as aging wires causing a short circuit, leading the system to stop functioning when it fails to receive signals. On the software side, the onboard computer occasionally crashes and requires a firmware update to fix. These electronically controlled vehicles rely on multiple sensors; if the brake sensor fails, the system will prohibit shifting for safety reasons. At the time, I tried restarting the system, and when that didn't work, I contacted official maintenance. They diagnosed it as a minor fault and easily resolved it. A reminder to everyone: avoid prolonged stays in low-temperature or humid environments during daily use, as these conditions can exacerbate issues. If gear shifting failures persist, seek professional assistance promptly to prevent worse outcomes.

When I test-drove the Neta electric car, I encountered a gear-shifting failure, which often stems from simple reasons. The most common one is attempting to shift without pressing the brake pedal, as the system is designed to prevent misoperation. If the brake pedal sensor is dirty or faulty, it won't recognize the input, and the car naturally won't shift. Another possibility is that the vehicle isn't fully started, such as when the small battery has insufficient charge or electronic devices fail to initialize. Delayed software updates can also cause bugs, but waiting a few minutes or restarting usually resolves the issue. Also, check if all doors are properly closed, as the safety lock might be engaged. While such problems are annoying, they're not difficult to handle—just ensure they don't cause trouble at critical moments.
