Description of the problem	My daughter was driving this vehicle on highway and the car started shaking and stalled. Thank god the cars around her avoided hitting her. She could have easily been killed. We took it to dealership and they said the transmission failed. This car only has 117 thousand miles on it. I have looked and it seems like there have been a lot of transmission failures with this vehicle. Because of this they offered an extended warranty up to 100000 miles but nothing over this. And no recall. They should be forced to do a recall. This type of transmission failure is very dangerous especially when driving on the high way. It is also very expensive to fix we are being told it will cost 10000 dollars which we can not do. We are not covered under the extended warranty because it is over 100000 miles.
