While I was driving the vehicle late last year (2022) I pulled out of the parking lot of my office and my vehicle did not accelerate even though I was pressing the gas pedal. I pulled over, turned off the car, restarted the car, and everything was normal again. This morning (8/15/23) as my wife was driving my son to school, the car did the same thing and the vehicle did not accelerate even though the gas pedal was pressed and the RPM's were registering but there was no drive power. She had to pull over and restart the car as well.

I was driving down the street and I hit a car because I felt that I lost the control of the car momentarily and it happened as it is described on this recall - 22V746000: The vehicle's "fail-safe" limited-mobility drive mode may be impaired, when prompted by a transmission oil pump malfunction, which can result in a complete loss of drive power. As a result the car crashed into another vehicle. Have the car since 24th of March. Have been feeling at times that I fight to be the driver with the car. Spoke to friends about the issue and they were concerned about that too.
