Reverse?

Mine seems to Jump out of reverse sometimes. It does not happen often but the noise is horrible and it always happens in busy carparks (making me look like a tool)

Does my car hate me or is the a problem other people are finding? :twisted:

I know I'm way behind on looking at the forums and answering things, I'll get there though lol.

In a way I'm glad to see this thread, it's not just me then, pretty much every time I try to reverse up the drive & when it doesn't jump out it stalls instead.

Mine seem's to make a "crunching" noise most times i select reverse, irregardless of whether it is rolling/stopped, selecting gently/vigorously, clutch in -> out -> in -> select. It's quite frustrating.
My old car was not much better than scrap and yet it still didn't crunch when i selected reverse.
Just sad to see such a new car failing on such little things.
