| Description of the problem | My car stopped without warning in the middle of a busy road while the car was in drive. I was on a city street going straight. Then the screen said service transmission. Told me to put car in park and then drive again. I was able to get out of harms way, after several attempts to engage the transmission while i was on the road. I put the car into neutral to get it to roll into a parking lot. Parked in parking lot. Put into drive again, and care would not move. Screen prompted me to shut off vehicle and restart. Did this, and same issue. Car would not move. Did this two more times and then gave up and called a tow truck. My first incident with issues with this car started over the last few weeks. I purchased it used in february 2019, with a clean carfax. It is now june 2019, and i'm starting to see the issues with transmission. While parked on day for 3 hours, i hopped in the car to start it and it wouldn't start after several attempts, but no error messages. I didn't think much of it because the screen said the fob wasn't detected, so i thought maybe the battery on fob was low. This problem has not occurred since. The other problems i noticed are extreme jerking while driving the vehicle, when accelerating at a stop or while driving. One time it jerked so hard going from a stop to drive, that i thought i had been hit in the back of the car. My car is currently with the purchasing dealership getting looked at. |
