I can confirm that! I had a shuddering noise, and it turned out to be a failing transmission.
It’s so disheartening to face unexpected costs. Just about everything related to smart cars seems to have a hefty price tag!
I know right? I always joke that there’s a secret tax on smart cars - it seems like nothing is easy or cheap with them!

I wonder if smart cars in general have more transmission issues than regular cars? It would be good to know if it’s a common problem.
There is some discussion on that, but it varies by model and year. Still, it’s worth researching before buying!
I’ve been thinking of going electric. Do smart cars have fewer issues with their transmissions compared to gas models?
Electric vehicles generally have simpler drivetrains, so yes, they may face fewer transmission problems overall.
