When turning on car all warning lights came on and then each one started flickering one by one. Then my transmission light and warning message came on. Car would start but locked itself and couldn't shift gears . I tried unlocking it and shifted to reverse it would not accelerate and would get stuck in that gear so had to manually unlock and shift to drive and couldn't accelerate. Couldn't turned it off gear shift would lock itself. Happened while heading back home. So I took it to the dealership and saw the recall for transmission. They ended up doing something else that I didn't say yes to now they are charging me for it and while my car was getting repaired. They gave me a loaner car, I get in car accident in their loaner car I had insurance but only liability.

At times, my radio has turned off on its own and when I'm on the phone it will disconnect from the bluetooth to my phone multiple times during the call. Another issue I'm having is when I am driving, it has fallen dead on me in the middle of the road and won't restart. It's happened at a traffic light and while driving. I've tried turning off my lights, radio, a/c to restart with no luck. Each time I've had to get towed home. I have a standard transmission. Each time it's happened, I've had fresh oil, gas and a good battery. Lastly, sometimes I'll start smelling something like a burning smell as if something is hot or overheating, but I never get a message on my dash. Ive also taken it to the dealership and they said nothing was wrong. I don't know what is going on and I got it Nov 2017.
