Vehicle would be stock on 1st or 3rd gear without any error code engine light or transmission light on. That can happen anytime. On take off at red light or cruising on 5th 6th or 7th shift. This is an automatic transmission with no mechanical issues. I am guessing it is a software issue. Very dangerous in traffic or high speed highway because the vehicle stalls unintentionally. A restart of vehicle fixes the issue.
