Found no issue. 2023 - notified about recall, but when contacting dealership they said there was no recall. 2025 - When driving on highway car started slowing down. Hesitates and struggles to accelerate. This was dangerous because speed limit was 65mph, but my car was struggling to go 40mph. Started making loud noise when trying to accelerate. …

The transmission would not go when the gas pedal was pressed. This happened at least 3 times since I've owned this vehicle. I was making a left hand turn crossing traffic and the vehicle would not go with oncoming cross traffic. This last time was a close call and my son was in the front passenger seat. Problem can not be reproduced on demand. It randomly happens and throws no codes or check engine light. The vehicle has only been inspected by the dealership and independent shop. No warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to or after failure. After a few seconds of unresponsiveness the transmission will begin to work correctly again. By the time I get it to a shop nothing seems wrong with it.
