I was parking my car this evening and as soon as I put it in Reverse (Automatic by the way) the Power Steering, Traction Light came on and the AFS warning light started to flash. WTF!!!!! This is a brand new car with 500km on it!

I turned off the car, re-started it back up drove it for another 10 km and everything seems ok.

The only thing I haven noticed when changing gears from Park to Reverse or from Drive to Reverse I feel a bit of a shutter (hard to describe)

Has anyone had all these lights come on like this?

HELP!!!

If its a new car (ie 2010) you should be asking the dealer these questions, not us!

I have heard of a ecu flash for the tranny though already.... dealer once again will know more.

Happened to me too. There is a recall for the Automatic power steering, apparently the fluid is burning up on oversteer because of the electric power steering motor.
Also they say the lines are rusting out even at 3K. Mine is in for this problem and many others today. I'll let you know what they say. Actually I can't wait to hear what they say.
