What owners wrote
While attempting to reverse out of driveway vehicle did not accelerate. Consumer had vehicle towed to the dealer. Mechanic informed the consumer that transmission failed. Consumer also had driveshaft and differential problems.
During acceleration the vehicle will stall and the motor will rev to around 3 to 4000 RPM. Then instantly grab and jump down the road. It does this every few weeks for a extended amount of time... Recently took a 100 mile trip, half way through the trip the problem started and continued for the remainder of the trip. On the way back the same day it no longer had the problem.
