Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH THE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE STARTED DECELERATING TO A STOP.. LUCKILY THE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE DID NOT ROLL , IT STARTED SLOWING AS IF BRAKING., I WAS LUCKY TO NOT BE REAR ENDED, THERE WAS NO FOR WARNING AND PROBABLY NO BRAKE LIGHTS. I FEEL THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND WANT TO KNOW WHY IT JUST SHUT DOWN AT 70 MILES PER HOUR, IT MAY HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF THE TRAFFIC HADN'T BEEN SO LIGHT. ARTICLES ON THE INTERNET INDICATE THE LAUNCH OF THE VEHICLE WAS DELAYED BY TRANSMISSION FAULTS. I BELIEVE IT WAS PUT INTO PRODUCTION FAULTY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR
