Adaptive Cruise Control problem #1

Adaptive cruise disengaging alert on dash- no cars or weather conditions to induce this. Loss of power and bucking on highway( near accident caused) catostostrophic sudden loss of power engine/transmission failure while mechanic driving resulting in car towed back to dealer. Loss of power multiple times causing near accidents. Sudden jolting at stop light causing car to propel forward requiered both feet on brake pedal to stop. 4 episodes of near collision 1st altert started 04/4/2024 adaptive cruise light on dash 14,700 miles on vehicle 5 episodes continued and now car is still at dealership for emissions failure, loss of power x 4 weeks. All photos of dash lights, repair invoices and video of dash available but I am not able to upload all.

Warnings problem #2

No warnings of any kind went off; I wasn’t even going 2 m. P. H. And hit a piece of wood that was right on the edge of the grass next to the road at the park. This is dangerous, especially at a park or other places where smaller children are present if I get that close to something and the none of the sensors go off letting me know there is something/someone that my vehicle could strike if not careful. I have not had it looked at yet, but plan to. No warnings of any kind have went off and it was functioning properly prior to this. There is severe damage to my vehicle.
