This causes the car to slip and there is loss of control of the car (gas, steering) for 5 to 10 seconds in this mode which poses huge danger to the driver. In latest incident light didn't go out and had to restart car in middle of road. Car is at dealer for third time. Opened claim with manufacturer on 8/15/17. Dealer and manufacturer do not acknowledge issue but we have found a number of forums. This is a serious safety issue.
