Why Doesn't the Automatic Transmission Car Move When the Brake is Released?
1 Answers
Reasons why an automatic transmission car doesn't move when the brake is released: 1. On very steep slopes, it's normal for an automatic transmission car not to move when the brake is released. Due to inertia, the resistance increases, and the vehicle requires more forward power than resistance to move. Simply pressing the accelerator will solve the problem; 2. Some car models have transmissions set not to move without pressing the accelerator, which is equivalent to being in neutral. This feature eliminates the need to shift to N gear when waiting at traffic lights; 3. Apart from the above two situations, if an automatic transmission car doesn't move when the brake is released, it indicates a vehicle malfunction. In this case, there could be various potential causes, such as issues with the transmission, drivetrain, throttle, etc. The owner should take the car to a 4S shop for inspection and repair.
