2 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 02/15/2021

My vehicle went from not being able to control acceleration or accelerate and making a strange sound while in motion while the rpm was steady going up, to not accelerating at all while in motion, to not shifting gears, to not doing anything in less than 24 hours. I was on the highway when I first noticed all of the problems. I had to pull on side of the road multiple times. It was scary and dangerous being on side of the road as a woman at night with very little lighting in the area. When the vehicle didn't want to do anything at all it was parked.

5 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 06/10/2019

As I was driving on an 8 lane expressway my vehicle experienced an engine stall while driving. I immeditaely tunred on my hazard lights to alert other drivers and crossed 7 lanes to come to a complete stop as I could no longer accelerate. I turned off my vehicle, turned to the on position to allow all dahsboard lights to turn off and then off. I turned my vehicle back on and continued to drive to my desitnation but this time when it happened I just was going up a hill, cars in front and behind me I was right in the middle of the intersection with another engine stall while driving. I need to be added to the manufactures list of the know defect of their voluntary recall they initatiated. My car is not safe to drive and becuase this is intermittent I can not recreate this issue at the dealership. I am not on the list of a recall even though I am having engine stalls while driving.
