Much unhappiness in my household at the moment 
Last night I wanted to head out, so climbed in the Tig and starter her up. Slipped it into "D" to the sound of a horrible crunch and clunk. Transmission light on the dash came on with a ding, and my heart sank. Tried to drive hoping everything would reset itself, but unfortunately it didn't. Didn't want to change gear in "D", "S", or Tiptronic mode.
I parked her again and had a poor nights sleep. Phone Roadside Assist this morning and they recommended I try "resetting" it by unlocking and locking several times in close succession, and if that didn't work they'd have to tow me to a dealer.
I tried the trick, started up, and this time when I slipped into gear it didn't crunch... but the warning light on the dash was still lit. Went for a short drive and this time it DID change gears and let me get up to 60 (speed limit in my area... could probably go faster) without problems, but the dash light is still lit up and didn't reset. Am relieved about that as I presume that means it isn't a chronic mechanical failure... but I won't know till the dealer sees it I guess.
Called the dealer just after 8am and they took my details. Waiting for a service agent to call me back and tell me what to do. Needless to say, I'm still very concerned about what's wrong and what happens next.
