A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
The car had been driven about a mile when I started to go up a hill. In about 500 feet, the transmission apparently disconnected from the engine as the rpm jumped up and the car stopped going. I moved the shift lever to the S mode but the transmission would not respond to the movement of the lever to go to the different gears such as no S1, S2, etc(the indicator on the dash stayed a S) The car acted as if it was in neutral but the vehicle would not roll backward down the hill as if it had a hill holder feature. The engine would respond to the accelerator but the vehicle would not go forward. I had to leave the car and walk home.
The next day, I went to the car and started it. I put the car is S mode and move the lever for gear selection and it responded and I put it in the S1 position. I then released the parking brake and the vehicle responded and went up the hill. I put the car in the garage until I can decide what to do. I have since then driven the vehicle around the neighborhood and it seems to drive normally.
I suspect that there is some problem with the electronics in the vehicle.
I do not want to drive the car if it might stop again.
