2019 car has less 88,000 was taking in as engine light on. car had difficulty climbing any elevate, would lose power, had to place in neutral, then back into drive to get it to work. taken to dealer and was told multiple failures of the Transmisson and needs to be replaced. we brought the vehicle with 37,000, so we are 2nd owner and we did change the oil every 3000 to 5000 miles (usually at 3000) driven by a 64 year old gentleman, so was not misused.

Owner report 11528728 · 2023-06-25 (June 25, 2023)
My car has flashed its automatic brake warning and initialized automatic brakes several times in my 10 months of ownership. This has happened when there has been no obstructions around the car. The car will beep, flash and brake in less than a second and will continue to brake for a second or 2. The car does not completely stop but it is jarring and could be dangerous if there was a car behind me or if there are ice/weather conditions that are on the road. I have not taken the car in for this issue specifically, but I would be open to have i…
