Keep getting a message saying �esc off� , �traction control off� comes and goes. Sometimes seems like the vehicle is stuck in a gear makes a loud roar. Starts to vibrate while driving at certain speeds. Having a problem with brake light staying on a even after replacing switch. I have the recall problems for this year/model car but VIN doesn't seem to meet the qualifications.
Bought this car brand new in August 2018. When I drive it sometimes it looses power when I'm driving from a stop or while picking up speed and it doesn't matter if it's on the freeway or on the street. The only way I can describe it is it's like the transmission gets stuck in a high gear and slowly builds speed up. It is very dangerous to drive it like this.

While driving the vehicle on interstate 270 at around 50 to 60 mph, the vehicle transmission down shifted upon breaking with a loud clunking noise. When I went to reaccelerate, the vehicle was unresponsive as though it was stuck in a higher gear and would not down shift to accellerate. This problem has reoccurred frequently so now when I drive on the highway, I set the cruise control to make sudden acceleration and decelleration unneccessary but the car still clunks out of gear upon exiting the highway.
