    Default Anyone had a Paddle switch failure?

    I was wondering if anyone has had an issue with their RT failing to shift due to the paddle switch failing. Thanks

    Over the past few years quite have a few have failed ..... this is becoming common lately .... probably a Bad batch ..... there was a back log for replacements .... don't know if that has cleared up yet .... good luck .... Mike

    I had the left hand multi function switch go bad on me back in the heat of the pandemic. It up shifted fine but would not manually down shift. Also it would not shift into Reverse or manually shift into Neutral. Combined with the supply chain fiasco, it took about 5 months for the replacement to come in. Fortunately it was over the winter, so I was not too severely impacted.

    I have a 2015 F3-S that had the paddle shifter fail years ago. Luckily it was still under warranty at the time of failure.

    I have a 2018 RT, the left hand multi-function switch failed. Would not shift up or into reverse manually, took several weeks to get a new part.
