The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
The powertrain transmission failed after a prior warranty replacement. The vehicle began experiencing improper and delayed gear shifting, loss of power, and inability to maintain speed. This condition made the vehicle unsafe to operate, especially in highway traffic, as it could not respond properly to normal driving conditions or surrounding vehicles. The problem was confirmed by a dealership, and all diagnostic procedures and documentation requested by the manufacturer were completed. The vehicle has been out of service for several weeks awaiting another warranty transmission replacement, with no estimated timeline provided. The transmission is currently at the dealership and available for inspection upon request. No crash occurred, but the failure created a serious safety risk due to loss of drivability in traffic.
