When driving in stop and go traffic, specifically on an incline, the transmission overheats and a burning/melting rubber smell is emitted from the engine. When climbing a long hill in slow moving traffic, the car displays a warning message saying that one should step on the break while on the steep incline. So instead of moving up the hill at a low steady speed using the accelerator, I must apply the break and stop the car on the hill, wait for a gap, accelerate to the car in front of me, and then stop again. When attempting to accelerate from a stop, the car lurches and shakes while making loud clanking sounds (similar to the sound you might hear before your car stalls out if you're not very good at driving a stick shift). After about 20-30 mins in traffic on the incline, one can smell an the burning odor and two out of three times another warning message came on the display that the transmission is overheating and that I should pull over immediately. It is extremely dangerous to park on the side of the highway and I have had to do three times in the last four weeks. Besides the transmission overheating and lurching on inclines, the vehicle also has acceleration issues on flat ground. For example, after being stopped at a traffic light I apply pressure to the gas but the car barely moves, the rpms begin to increase as I apply more pressure to get it moving, and then all of a sudden in clicks and jerks in to gear speeding away. This problem has left me in the middle of an intersecting with oncoming traffic, luckily no one has been injured yet. The delayed acceleration also occurs as I drive up my parking garage, as the car slowly moves along the accelerator has no affect until suddenly the car quickly accelerates to an unsafe speed in the tight parking structure, again luckily no pedestrians have been injured yet due to the malfunctioning vehicle.
