This vehicle has issues with the transmission shifting and/or not shifting, it shifts back and forth between high and low gears until it stalls, this time it stalled while in front of a large tractor trailer. It stalled and lost all power including steering and brakes nearly causing a crash. When I took it to the dealership they told me it was a known issue and could do nothing to fix the issue as it is a glitch in the computer.
