My dealer said it would be a couple weeks or longer. Anyone else experienced this?
Yeah, this happened to my car( June 2019 production) and was stranded in the underground parking lot of a shopping mall. Very difficult to tow it out, as transmission couldnt be shifted to neutral.

Eventually reached the dealership on a flat bed, and the short story was that transmission wires got exposed somehow and short-circuited, rendering the transmission unusable.
They fixed it though in a couple of hours and could get my car back next day
But if the cables were allright all they needed to do is place them somewhere that there would be no harm.
