On Friday, July 3, 2026, at approximately 9:30 pm, while driving on the parkway at an approximate speed of 65 miles per hour and preparing to merge onto the highway, the vehicle unexpectedly stalled completely. I was able to safely maneuver the vehicle to the shoulder of the road. After a few minutes, once the immediate traffic situation on the highway entrance cleared, I attempted to re-engage the vehicle. While the engine started, it immediately began revving excessively high without corresponding forward momentum. The vehicle moved at an extremely slow pace despite the high engine rpms, indicating a severe loss of power transfer to the wheels. Current status: the vehicle is presently parked and cannot be driven due to this ongoing issue. It remains inoperable.
