2 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 06/29/2018

On Friday, June 29th 2018, I remote started my car and when I got inside the car I was presented with the wrench icon and it said to see the manual. I checked the manual and it said that it had something to do with a powertrain fault. Light went off about 3-5 later. As I was driving, I came to a red light and when it turned green, I gave it gas and the car wanted to stall (rpm levels dropped to 500 or lower rpm). It did it again the same day, but at a later time. Also, when I start braking the car's rpm levels goes up to 3-4k rpms when braking from 70mph and when braking from 40mph. Occasionally it did it at different speeds. I have proof on video, but can't upload them here due to format.

3 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 06/22/2017

I purchased this car on 8/31/16 and on 11/28/16 the dreaded dead battery problems started. I took in it, they replaced the battery on 11/28 said that it was probably just a faulty battery from the manufacture and that it happens, rarely but it happens. On 12/31/17 I went to start my car and it again would not start. Each time that this has happened, I have to manually unlock my car by taking off a piece of the door handle to expose the key hole and the dome lights or dash lights do not come on, that's my dead giveaway that it wont start. When I took it to the shop this time they informed me that the car was manufactured on 8/1/16 and sat too long without being driven so it caused the battery to mess up(even though I had the battery replaced a month earlier, and drive every single day to work). I got the car back and I bet you cant guess what happened on 2/4/17. . . My car was dead. Wouldn't start, wouldn't unlock. . . Dead. This time they we're "99. 9% sure" they fixed the problem by updating my power train control module. They hadn't, it died again on 5/22/17. When I took it in, they updated the powertrain control module and sent me on my way, so I'm just waiting for it to die again honestly. Then. . . I told them my transmission is slipping on 5/22/17- they ignored it when doing updates and it wasn't resolved. On 6/13/17 I took it in because the transmission was still slipping so they updated the powertrain control module again. . . Didn't fix it(obviously) and then on 6/22/17 I took it in because I almost got into an accident due to the transmission slipping and sliding my car into oncoming traffic trying to shirt gears(its automatic) and they replaced a pressure valve, not sure why you would need to replace a part like that on a brand new car anyway, but the transmission still acts up.
