What owners wrote
Driving at slow speeds and foot off of gas, engine screams but the car does not move even though it is in drive. Slowly going up a hill in drive echo, engine dies as I press down on gas pedal.
I was stopped at a stop sign and upon stepping on the gas, I noticed that the car would not accelerate. It was making a humming sound similar to if it were in neutral. I cannot seem to have any power when shifting into sport mode getting onto the highway and does not accelerate at all. It makes an odd noise. I felt car hiccup at first when accelerating. This could be a dct issue and could be safety issue also. Car is at approx 77,000 miles at this time.
