Yet another 'Transmission Failsafe' issue

[dhyrk3]

Hey guys

I have been researching on tranny issues here and I think mine is another case ??

This symptom started 4 months back, car was parked, engine was running, A/C on, radio was also on. Out of the blue, radio shuts down, Nav screen shuts down, DSC/4x4 inactive message appeared with lights on, break and ABS lights on, Trans Failsafe Mode appeared. I shut everything off and then wont start anymore. I had to use my battery booster to start the X. Eventually I found that the battery had a leak.

I didn't change the battery yet as I have to go out of the country for 3 months, so it was just sitting out under the scorching heat here in the land of sand.

So the battery was changed exactly 35 days ago.

It has been running fine since then. Next instance happened when when I was on driving at 120kph. Same as above, all the messages and lights went off and I had to use the booster again.

It can't be the battery anymore as it's considerably new, can it?

I was assuming that if it is indeed a transmission-induced symptom, the 'trans failsafe mode' and lights would just go off, right?

I'm sending her to the garage this week and will share everyone what the findings are.

If you could also share your thoughts now, would highly appreciate it.

cheers!
