The few months old vehicle would get into a degraded mode and severely hesitate when accelerating from a stop. This created a dangerous situation where I was almost hit because the vehicle would not move. In addition, the vehicle ignored manual shifting and stayed in drive mode even when the shifter was set physically in the - and + manual mode. Driving on highways caused the engine to groan and rev loudly as it tried to shift into a gear. Turning the car off and opening the door and restarting the car seemed to correct the issues for a short time. After two weeks in the shop, it was determined it was a faulty clutch accuator assembly. This is a very dangerous condition that appears to be happening to many as seen on forums.

The problem that I am having is when I start to accelerate going through the gears 1,2,3 and 4 there is a huge, pause/delay in shifting through the gears. In fact there has been may times when I start to accelerate the gears pauses and I hit the gas again and the vehicle does not accelerate at all the RPM's go up sometimes past 6 and the transmission start burning. I even got an safety display message that the transmission is overheated and to pull over for safety until it cools down. Note I only have 5719 miles and my 4th time taking it back to the dealership for service. I am driving in fear everything because this problem happens when it wants to sometimes the vehicles drives perfect then the next minute I'm having the same issue. This problem is happening at a street light, stop sign, stop and go traffic on the streets and on the freeway, when I am slowing down to make a turn then accelerate and in the morning, afternoon and at night. I am afraid when I start to accelerate then the next second I cannot accelerate that the car behind me or if I am changes lanes and stop accelerating than another vehicle will crash into me. I don't know if the problem is the actual transmission and or software related, but it is unsafe and I do not want to drive this vehicle anymore. This problem is off and and on, but when it does happen it does not stop the problem until I turn the car off. Sometimes it continues to happen or not. For example last time I had the problem was on sat. Night while I was out with my family in the car. The transmission was overheating, it cooled off and about an hour later I drive it home and it was okay. I drove it to the dealership this morning with no issues. I am in sales and drive a lot and cannot afford these issues for safety reasons and for work.
