The contact owns a 2013 Cadillac Escalade. The contact stated while driving 60 mph and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle downshifted unintendedly and shut off. The contact was able to veer to the side of the road. The check engine warning light and an unknown warning light were illuminated.

The contact then drove 10 mph and parked the vehicle in her nearby work's place parking lot. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced.

The contact stated that the vehicle was undrivable and had been parked. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

While driving the vehicle, a complete stop was made at a stop sign on a residential street. When attempting to make a right hand tun from the stop, the steering wheel became very difficult to turn and the vehicle had a loss of powertrain when the accelerator was depressed.
