    Default F3S Stalling in third gear

    When coming into an intersection my F3S stalled in third gear. It took a bit of turning the red kill switch on and off a couple of times along with the key before it finally restarted. There were no codes displayed and it definitely was in gear as it couldn't be rolled. Has this happened to anyone else?

    That's definitely a malfunction because even if you run out of fuel it still disconnects the drive via the clutch so that you can roll. In fact, as long as the key is on you can (we can) always roll an F3 auto.

    Might not be worth worrying about unless it happens again.

    Default Well....

    Lets start with ....is it an SE or an SM..?? was it downshifting or were you..?? did you shut her down and then follow the starting sequence or just flip the kill switch and turn the ignition switch..?? If it started back up no codes and is doing fine it may have been a hiccup...
