Unhappy I NEed HeLp plz

I need help with my RSX. I don't know what happened with it.

When I turn the car on and put it in Drive the light indicating it is in Drive starts flashing.

If you know why it is flashing please let me know.

I think the D light is supposed to come on when you put the gear selector on D??

If you still have your owners manual I would look at that first.

Also do a search on Google for this - drive light flashing on RSX

one search came up with this answer:

"it usually means to have the transmission checked and that there is a malfunction of some kind."

hope this helps

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

i would think it could be something bad because it is a warning / alert type of light on your car

check your transmission fluid

how is the car shiffing?

do you smell the transmission fluid burning? when the fluid is burning up it will turn a reddish brown and the smell is very distinctive.
