Description of the problem	Car would shudder when coming to a stop occasionally and feel like it was going to stall. I brought it to a mechanic who couldn't replicate the problem. After months of this happening randomly, the car suddenly lit up with all these dash warning lights, i tried turning the car off and back on but the lights remained on, afterwards the car would suddenly lose power. As it was late in the evening, i drove home, with the car alternating between lurching forward and losing power. The next morning the problems continued. I took my car to my mechanic who said it was a transmission issue and i needed a transmission shop. My car has been there for over 2 weeks. They said that there was damage to the transmission and that this is a common problem with these cars, i have yet to receive an estimate for repairs. The day before the issues started i had to drive an hour and a half away, should these issues had happened on the highway, the car could have stalled out doing highway speeds and caused a major accident. Furthermore, i was never notified of the warranty extension. I purchased the car in december 2017, the shuddering occured at random since i purchased it, i known the shuddering was a symptom of a impending large, catastrophic issue, i would have been able to bring it to a dealer to have it repaired as the warranty extension expired july 2018.
