| Description of the problem | I am getting random software transmission issues. Sometimes the car power fades when driving on major roads to a stop so i have to restart the car. I now avoid driving on freeways because of this. Sometimes when driving on main roads i get a message to say that i have to put the car in "park" to change gear when i was just driving in d and did not want to change anyway as it was in automatic not manual. Which i do not use. After the message the car loses power and i have to stop to put the car in "park" to restart the car to continue on my journey, sometimes i have no issues. I have reported issues previously about the car losing power which were claimed to have been fixed after a recall for software updates. This car is currently unstable, unpredictable, unreliable and dangerous. I am very concerned about my safety and reluctant to drive the car anywhere. I feel uneasy as i do not know what is going to happen next. I have notified the dealer previously and today but i need this issue escalated. I have an alternative use of a car (my wife's) which i drive to avoid the above safety concerns and problems. |
