| Vehicle Speed Control problems |
I purchased this car in 2016 brand new from the dealer. Have kept up with its maintenance but in the past couple of months, the car is not taking off. What I mean by that is that the transmission slips and won't allow the car to gain speed there is a delay in the car accelerating. This is the second time that it has happened this year and its very unsafe to use a car this way and its less than 10 years old.
Vehicle accelerates by it self.
When I try to accelerate, the car starts out really slow. There is a lot of jerking and acceleration issues. When I try to accelerate, it acts like it is shifted to l, but then it speeds up. This is a constant issue.
As I was driving it it seems to hesitate on accelerating after a few stops the transmission light would come on for a little bit then go off. Same with the check engine light. As I was driving it to work on the highway. . It suddenly started losing power and I was able to pull over and park it at a gas station where it went completely dead. . I had aaa tow it. . It started up but the shifting is not engaging right away. Had the software updated in 2019. . The cvt transmission are full of problems. It seems to have the same symptoms as the recall but my car was not recalled according to the VIN number. . I had a flush done recently and I have also had the oil changed when needed. The acceleration hesitation then loss of power while driving 60 on the freeway is a safety issue. . . A lot of semi trucks travel that highway and they cant stop when a car loses power in front of them.
