Description of the problem	We were driving in the city and after going on a slight incline road the car started to lose power. Noticed a few warning indicators came on the dash then i lost the ability to accelerate the car so i had to pull over while it was slowing down. I restarted the car and was able to drive short distances till it completely lost the ability to drive due to lost of acceleration. Very scary situation and it seems like its due to their inverter issues they were trying to fix with a software update. If the shop confirms, its due to the inverter issues, not sure if id feel safe driving the car even if they replace the whole inverter assembly. It's our family car for road trips and i wouldn't feel comfortable until they find a solid fix for this issue. 3 recalls for the same issue? That's ridiculous.
