P07FE Stuck In Gear - Not Specified

The TCM detects that the transmission is stuck in some gear but cannot identify which one — typically because multiple input/output ratio cross-checks fail simultaneously, or an early-detection diagnostic fires before the specific-gear detection runs.

Is it safe to drive with P07FE?

Usually safe for short trips, but don’t ignore it: the underlying fault can get more expensive over time.
