Transmission shifts to a low gear and will not upshift causing the vehicle to only go about 10 mph @4,ooo rpm. Dealer says it is a solenoid in the transmission that has failed. Part is on limited distribution because of significant instances of this occurance. This is a dangeruos situation that could cause great peril. My vehicle has only 22,000 miles. This is very premature for this new of a vehicle.

The transmission. It is disengaging while driving down the road. It literally has basically stalled out in the middle of intersections, the highway, etc. There is a recall for this exact problem just not with my vin for some reason. I tried to get a dealership to look at it and see if they can fix it they say they will not. I am not safe nor are others with this malfunction.

7-8 mild transmission slips/sticking 3 MAJOR transmission events where the car seized up completely and stopped running. Almost felt like a car crash. Very abrupt stop and almost caused people behind us to rear end us Car is only 21 months old / 17,000 miles. Most recent was in early August. We have not driven car since out of fear.

Noticeable Hard shifting, Transmission concerns vehicle woul d not move during acceleration when pulling into driveway. V ehicle placed in park and back to drive vehicle would not mo ve. Noisy braking. Delayed acceleration on when leaving s top or red light or freeway driving. Rough idling Noisy idle Transmission concern

The exhaust pipe, gaskets and muffler. Yes, at times we do smell the exhaust inside the vehicle and a loud sound coming from the engine when the vehicle is in motion and on standby. Yes they were notified and are still waiting for parts to have it repaired. They advised to continue driving my car and refused to provide a rental to use during the downtime due to my ‘issue’ not covered by my warranty or extended warranty because my vehicle is over 36k miles. No warnings were on in the vehicle to notify me, I just noticed a weird sound as my car would start up when the vehicle is started and never stopped.

See attached document for complaint

Transmission and valve box stopped functioning in the middle of driving. As a result, the car was stuck in 1st gear.

I was trying to park on a little steep driveway. Somehow I got out of the car when it is D gear. In seconds I realized the car is moving forward and jumped right back in the car, hit the brakes and switch D to P. The car didn't stopped. I remember buckled up sign on display and I did. Then I pushed the start button tried to stop and start it again, the car didn't stopped. The car continued to move down from driveway to backyard down the slope hitting and badly damaging a tramboline and a chair on its way and only stopped after hitting a tree. Then the engine worked when I pushed start button.I was able to reverse back to driveway again. I was lucky the kids were at school and there was a tree stopping the car to fall the little creek at the end of property line. Did I forget the car in auto shut off or simply shut the engine while it is on D? I am not sure exactly when I was able to switch gear P, it was before or after the buckle up sign. I don't remember any other warnings like "switch D to P to Park" before I left the car.(Normally it says) This acccident happened the day after we took it to service for 10k milage maintenance , oil change ,tire rotation, 27. Inspection. I am suspecting a main system malfunction because, after it came back from the 10k maintenance service, it was giving a strange alarm sound at random times when driver door opens. Alarm was louder and faster then normal warnings like remote left in the car etc. and there wasn't any warning on the display, indicating what it was about. I am suspecting power terrain and brake failure too. I don't know if my car does have an auto brake to stop itself and avoid sliding down a slope when driver is out of the car. I don't know if my car has a sensor showing if the driver is seated or not. Overall I experienced a dangerous situation and my attempts to stop it was unsuccessful.
