2015 RT SE 6 will not go into reverse??

Any help? My 2015 RT will not go in reverse. I drove it and it goes thru all forward gears and even auto-shifts back down - manually backs down as well. I saw a post on checking oil, any other suggestions?

IMO: Possible rear shift actuator failure or defective switch or wiring to..... I believe on the RT the actuator is located beneath where the left foot is placed mounted on chassis.
Unless you have a shop manual or Buds interface to start diagnostics, look to your dealer.

One thing, check to make sure your brake light illuminates when you step on pedal, has to see brakes are applied before reverse can actuate.

Hi Harrison. Just to cover all the bases before you go too far down the malfunction road, are you remembering to depress and hold the reverse button?

P.S. It can be finicky sometimes.

Do you have a bottle holder mounted to the left hand controls? If so, that could be your problem. The screw can short out the controls and reverse is the first to go.
