Just got mine fixed at the new Smart Center in Nashville. Sometimes it would not go into to reverse. They were very nice, and curious about the Smart brand. They have only had them 2 weeks. There was no charge for…

Officially the smart is not rated to tow anything. If you look around the internet you will find discussion boards where people talk about towing with the smart. I would try to go as light as you can.

U-haul carrie the CURT trailer hitch for the smart. (I have seen hitch +install for $250 at U-haul)
1100 lb MAX towing capacity (less is better). anything you can tow with a motorcycle should work?
Wallace Rumbarger replied to Mary Ann's discussion 'Smart Transmission'
Your transmission is losing it's programming.
Most common reason is when you are shifting into reverse, you are still rolling forward and the sensor gets confused which gear it should be in?
When this happens, put your foot on the brake…

Hello. My car had the same problem. I was finally able to coax the shifter into indicating "D" and was able to get it into the dealer without a tow. Turned out it was a problem with the computer and after being…

Looks like your car is out of warranty but there are several well documented issues with the transmission: http://www.smartcarofamerica.com/forums/search.php?searchid=1467785

Drive it fast to the Dealship!!! mine has been doing it for a while but I did not take it seriously. I assumed it was just a quark. Now, My car will not go into Reverse or Drive......
Mary Ann replied to Joseph's discussion 'convertible top won't open'
Mine did that, then flew all apart. I had to tape it closed to get it to the Dealship.
Mary Ann replied to Boomer's Rock's discussion 'Ignition Key Replacement'
I lost my key over a year ago, when I called about replacing it it was $500 for the keyfob & computer chip and synicing it all.
I have just replaced my tires 72000miles, need a wheel so I can have a real spare ... Does anybody have a wheel for sale????

The brackets that slide the roof open and closed!!!!!! I have to say that I purchased the extended warranty when I bought my car. I have not used the warranty until now. They are having to order the parts from France. They gave me another…

Roof Problem
Posted on March 21, 2010 at 10:49am 0 Comments 0 Likes
My Smart Cabrio is having roof problems. It looks like 2 pins came out of the drivers side of the fabric roof system. I have the extended warrant and we have an appointment tomorrow in Jax, Fl. I hope they can fix it fast- It's been raining here and I am tired of driving other peoples cars while My Smart is safe in the garage.
LOST Smart Key!!!!

I know this has NEVER happened to anybody before now..... but I lost my Smart Key!!! I searched everywhere !!!! You would not believe what I when through looking for the KEY! Finally I gave up and got the spare KEY to use.
I called my Smart Car Dealer in JAX to order another KEY. Guess what!!!! A replacement KEY is almost $500.00. JUST for a KEY with a computer chip. If it's got a computer chip why can't they locate my original…

Dear Speedy-
I want to say a special Thank you to Mr. Davis for allowing the "JaxSmarts" to visit the museum. I understand there was concern for having such a group exploring the collectables. Please assure Mr. Davis that each and everyone that attended has a true appreciation for what he has accomplished with the museum. I see why you enjoy working with Mr. Davis, he has a true appreciation for the history of the cars and believes in being the caretaker of those treasures. He has… Continue

Trun lights in the doors are Popping off
Posted on June 15, 2009 at 12:29pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Is anybody else having this problem??? The driver side turn light popped out, the little plastic latches are broken off. Wouldn't you know, the passenager side light has popped out and the plastic latches are broken off on that one too. I don't know what is breaking the plastic clips. Those lights do not look good flopping on the doors. Well a Smart person does not drive around with the lights beating on the doors; So 2 sided tape is used until new lights can be ordered.

Gillian said… - Hi Mary Ann, my wait on my original reservation was 9 months (March 08-Dec 08). Because I sold my orphan to a colleage and friend at work, I was not seeking "top dollar." I just wanted a fair price. I marked it down a little due to the 7k miles it already had on it.

- Hi Mary Ann, I am told I have the first metalic/grey silver in the Boston area. She is actually my 2nd smart. I got an orphan in August (Black/Silver) and sold that one a week ago. On Tuesday (12/16) TCUP42 (#2) arrived - exactly to my specification! And she's a 2009 too!
Yours is pretty cute - love the red interior with the silver.

Smarts said… - How'd the oil change go? Is your dealer here in Jacksonville or in Atlanta? What other things did they recommend or did you have to pay for?
