Just a backstory, my Trax loses power and struggles when I go on a full stop and needed to start going again. it started with code P0420 so i changed one on the rear.
still no fix after that and worse, it's now showing P0700 but there are no other codes. i understand that this code might be related to the tranny but what could've happened here? any help will be appreciated!
 
P0700 points to a transmission control issue often tied to the TCM or related sensors. Since P0420 came 1st it might also be worth doublechecking the catalytic converter and O2 sensors. Have you noticed any other symptoms like rough shifting or warning lights?

Plus one on this.

If it's a transmission issue, @meidaymeiday you should immediately head over to the dealer. Don't wait too long!!! That's just death waiting to happen.

Damn that's dramatic :)

The problem with this fault code is that it can be any number of things all of which pointing to the transmission, but with limited info we can't be of much help. Which year and transmission do you have?
 
Yeah, if you're seeing the P0420 code, it usually means there's something going on with the catalytic converter or the O2 sensor. And for the P0700 code, it's a signal that the Transmission Control Module (TCM) has picked up a fault. This could involve the torque converter or maybe the shift solenoid. It's a good idea to scan the TCM for any hidden codes to dig deeper into what's really happening.
