Problem 1)had my '21 sport for 7 days. Started stalling few times when shifting from p to r while on a slight incline (dash lights up like in acc mode) after driving it for about 30 min before and then turning it off to go inside of the store, etc. After about 2-5 minutes of idling, the car engine stopped like I was in auto stop, but didn’t kick back on when I shift gears to reverse or when I applied gas. But then I hit the on/off button and engine turns over just fine. Problem 2) but today it started making a whirring sound with difficulty accelerating & quick decelerating/speed drop off upon release of gas, even when going down a big hill. It felt like resistance and pulling feeling almost? like how a car feels when it doesn’t want to shift. Also felt a little jittery the longer I drove & loud clunk shifting gears. Got louder when I would press on the gas more. It continued even after starting the car again when leaving my location. It wasn’t doing it before yesterday, and then while positioning the car for the tow truck. But the back up cam started going crazy at me like I was about to hit something??? but nothing was there. Then eyesight was “disabled, check manual” a couple times today upon starting it. But no codes thrown thrown outside of the eyesight thing. I’ve seen a transmission issues and stalling and ecu issues with the 2018 & 2019 but quite a few people on facebook and reddit similar issues in '21. Dealer found no codes and couldn't recreate it so they told me to come get it.
