Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR SHIFTED ITSELF INTO 1ST GEAR AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN. I COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO GO THROUGH THE INTERSECTION FAST ENOUGH. I WAS ALMOST HIT. THE CAR HAS CONTINUED TO GO INTO THIS LIMP MODE ( 1ST GEAR ) BY ITSELF. I CAN'T GET IT TO ACCELERATE.ALSO, I PULLED OVER AND I COULD SMELL RUBBER BURNING. IT IS AT THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW. I LOOKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE 2012 ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR TRANSMISSION. IT HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND THE HIGHWAY.
