What owners wrote
Transmission has been iffy. Randomly slipping rpms. Driving down the highway everything shut off and it stopped in the middle of the road multiple cars narrowly missing me. I could have died because of a broken transmission! Only four months old bought it brand new only 5k miles on it. This is not okay! This could have killed me and people around me! Unacceptable!
Car stalls when pulling into city traffic from an intersection. Appears as if engine won't take fuel when I have accelerator depressed. Happened several times and dealer says nothing shows up on cars computer as a problem.
