My Car won’t move in gears, I didn’t have any problems leading up to this as far as gears slipping and transmission problems. Could it be low or no fuel? Or is the transmission bad? My mechanic said shift solenoid is stuck.

Mechanic's Assistant: This is potentially serious. How long has it been going on?
It All happened in the same day
Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your transmissions?
Porsche Panamera 4 2011 Rwd 3.6L
Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Panamera 4 yourself? What have you tried so far?
No, but my mechanic hooked it up to his diagnostics machine and he said his codes read solenoid stuck
Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you?
Ive had the car since September, got one oil change but never did a transmission change/flush and the car is at 90,000 miles

Ok, it is definitely a failure in the transmission. As to whether it is a shift solenoid, or failure in the direct clutches or fluid pump or other internal failure, I will need the exact fault code numbers your mechanic retrieved when he scanned it

HI
Both of these fault codes point to either a faulty shift solenoid or transmission control module. Your mechanic will need to test the solenoid. If it fails testing, replace it and if it is ok, replace the transmission control module

HI,
No, as this is an electronic failure which low fluid would not cause.
