Consumer Description

Automatic transmission frequently disengages while driving at any speed. It stops functioning suddenly and vehicle slows down even if still depressing gas pedal. It happened a few times while in heavy traffic almost causing to get rear ended by cars. No warning lights or messages appears when it malfunctions. It happened on day I purchased the vehicle and owner said it needed a flush according to her mechanic but never had it done. Ever since then it is happening more often. Is there a recall for this? If so, please notify. I'm sure other owners are having this problem.
