Ok, my baby was so dirty I just had to get her washed yesterday (drive thru, wiped down after in and out). So of course it gets down to about 15F. last night and I can hear the door hinges creaking a bit when I get in this morning. But here is the weird thing. I start her up, put her in reverse to back out of my car port and it's like reverse gear won't engage or is stuck? So I put her in park, then back into reverse again and give her a bit more gas and after a little engine rev the gear engages and I back out fine. When I got to work (only like a 3-4 mile drive) I play in the parking lot a bit with reverse again and all seems fine. So, is this anything I should be concerned about? I didn't get any kind of underbody wash but of course water could get under and in things. Anyway, just thought I'd ask the experts what they thought.

P.S. My ride is only about 6 months old and has been perfect so far.
