What owners wrote
The vehicle's transmission unexpectedly slips out of gear between 20 and 35 MPH. When this occurs, pressing the accelerator merely revs the engine, without forward motion. This occurred 4 times in the first 600 miles of operation. Without power, I can't navigate out of a dangerous situation.
