Question if my Cab2 is broken or not?

I’ve had this happen on occasion but never persistently. Does the red knob feel loose or can you feel the indentations has you move it?

Sorry I tried to search online about this but couldn't seem to find an answer.

I have a base 3 and a cab2 from a 993 set, so this is my first experience with Legacy so I'm not sure if this is normal or I need to send the remote to Lionel for repair.

When I stop a train or power down a track and get to zero the remote jumps back up to 1, so the locomotive continues to move or power remains on for that track. I then have to turn down the knob, sometimes multiple times to get the train to stop or the track power off.

Is this normal or is something wrong with the remote?

Really should not do that.  Unless you accidentally hit the red knob.  Sounds like the Red Knob potentiometer is dirty or something wrong with it (not holding its position).  Can you feel the detents when turning the knob?  I would send in the remote while you still can and get it checked out before Lionel stops repairing them.

I can feel the steps in the knob and it is stiff with no play in it. It is very consistent, as soon as I hit zero slow or fast it pops back up to 1. Then I have to go back to zero, sometimes multiple times to get it to stick at zero.

Thanks for the feedback, I have reached out to Lionel for a repair.

When you push the reverse button, does it stay at zero or go back to one? I have the engine creep on me after I stop it and I need to press the reverse button to bring it to a full stop.  Then you need to press again if you want to go in same direction.
