yes an 05, I am not sure about the software. the dealer told me my computer got confused and they reset it and then applied the latest version of the software that controls the cvt. They said it was an updated version compared to what i had.

What was the problem that required the trip to the dealer?
According to the numbers you provided, your fuel mileage has dropped by 12%. Some of that may be attributed to colder weather. I would contact the dealer and see how they explain the drop in mileage.

the reason it was brought into the shop or should i say towed was that my wife was driving it home about 1/4 mile and noticed it wouldnt go up our hill. So i test drove it and it did the same thing, had no power and had a funny smell to it. the AWD light and check engine light was on. So once the shop got it they said it was the software on the CPU causing the issue so they reset it and updated it. I contacted the Dealer today and he said he never heard of an issue like that. But bring it in and we will look into it.

Ohhh….we need to restart Mo sometime to clear a power loss issue, and now we need to update software to clear the CVT problem. More and more it starts reminding me Windows 98…..:13:
