My transmission is telling me 'performance shifting unavailable' shifting gears on own

Car will stall and will indicate on the dash to shift into park while the d flashs on both the dash and on the gear selector. once the car is in park and i try to restart the car it sounds like it tries to start and times out and i have to try again.

Warning light air bag has been on won't turn off, vehicle was stationary. vehicle loses power driving, vehicle stalls out when backing in reverse.

When coming to a stop or accelerating from a complete stop either turning or straight, the engine stalls without warning & there is no power steering or momentum to safely pull over. i have been stuck with hazards on at neighborhood stop signs, in stopped traffic after the light turns green, freeway on ramps, in the center of small & large intersections blocking traffic, on railroad tracks, & more. it can take up to 3 tries for the engine to restart. obviously this is extremely unsafe, & i do not believe that i should be stuck in an intersection because a newer car with such low miles dies every day, often several times a day. in addition, the transmission is very jerky & the engine does not run smoothly once it restarts. that also happens occasionally upon the first start of the day. i do not understand why my vehicle was not included in the recall for this exact issue. i do have videos of this, but can not upload them. the date below is the date of one of the videos, this problem occurs daily & has been for several weeks. after purchasing the car, there were a few incidents months apart, then it became more frequent, & for the last several weeks it is a daily occurrence.

My husband got was leaving work today 6/12/19 and pull out from his job to enter traffic but once he was straight in the lane the car began to slow down so he had to pull into a gas station to try and get back started which took about 5 mins of the car winding before it started. so when he got home i had to take my daughter to summer camp and as soon as i made a right turn onto the street and acceralted the car began to shut down again and took about 15 mins in a highly traffic area before it restarted but now the air bag light is stuck on and a warning engine wait light also came on before the car started

My oil was recently changed 2/28/2019, the oil is 3 months old and i've only drive 2,133 miles since. my car takes full synthetic oil and should last for 6,000 miles. i checked it today 6/12/2019 and my car tells me i have 66% left and i do not i need to get a oil changed even before hitting 3,000 miles because there is none left. i have had this issue happen 3/4 times within the last year and a half and i've only had the car for 2 years. a few months back i got this checked out by my mechanic and even a second mechanic, he told me that the pistons rings on my car are bad and is causing excessive oil consumption, there is no leak etc. so my car constantly runs out of oil before its time to change it and is causing my car to cut off in the middle of driving. my mechanic advised me to report this problem and either change the oil every 3,000 miles or get rid of the car. it is dangerous for the car to continuously cut off while driving it. so i am reporting this problem i've had for the past year and a half with hopes for a solution

While driving down the street, the car stalled. this has happened 3 times within the last 5 days. it is unknown as to why this is happening, but the car stalling while driving in the flow of traffic, is a safety risk. during this time, the car would not shift into neutral, and after pressing the start button again, the car starter was continually trying to turn over and start, but didn't. after getting assistance, the car was finally pushed out of the middle of the street from it's stalled position. after getting pushed to a parked position, it finally started, but i didn't want to take the chance of it stalling again, since this has happened three times now.

On the night of 5/11 i came home from a business trip in a rental vehicle and pulled my personal vehicular out of my underground secured garage to take to a store approximately 1 mile away. after returning to my apartment i parked the vehicle in the outside parking lot just for that night as i parked the rental underground. about 15 minutes after parking my vehicle i heard 2 loud booming sounds i could hear from my apartment. about 20 minutes after the booming sounds three police officers came to my apartment door and told me my vehicle was on fire. they took me down to the parking lot and told me there was an explosion that led to the fire. they told me there was a witness who saw sparks flying which led the police detective and fire department to think it was an electrical issue that led to the explosion. there is a police report on file and i have filed a claim with my insurance. the engine compartment was completely engulfed in flames and the heat/fire damaged the two vehicles on either side of my vehicle.

While driving, the engine will stall and shut off with no warning. i have to coast to a safe place to pull over and when i try to restart the engine. the engine makes a loud noise and then starts to crank slowly and then starts back up. this has happened 4 times over the last 5 days.

This car has stalled 5 times coming down a hill while turning in to traffic. once, i had my child with me. i was heading in to traffic and the car died, leaving me stranded with cars coming!!! this is extremely dangerous because i can't move out of the way! it takes anywhere from 10 seconds to over a min to get it to start again.

I have been having issues with this car since day 1 and nobody will do anything about it. first it act like it wants to cut off while i'm driving, then it went to acting like it didn't want to start and now my car has been sitting up for months and will not start at all. it's reading airbag systems and warming engine wait to start. when i wait it still won't start. i'm still paying american car center my money for something i can't even drive and they keep telling me someone will get back with me and never do.

The car engine keeps on stalling while it is in motion. the car suddenly stops while i am driving it. there are no warning lights, visual cues or sounds to indicate any problem. as a result, the car's power steering becomes inoperable. the speed of the car varies at the time of each incident. each time this incident has happened, the car has become disabled in the middle of the street. there have been 5 incidents this past month. so far, the car has been able to restart after putting the car in park and after a couple of attempts of pushing the start button along with stepping on the brakes. it usually takes a couple of minutes. during that time, my car is in the middle of the street and in traffic. i have had my children in the car during some of these incidents. it is an extreme safety risk.

Cold start my car had a recall for a device that needed to be replaced. "shuts off while driving" i was informed that it was replaced and this would solve the problem. "cold start" this is happening again in the mornings, the car starts fine: i'll sit and let it warm for about 5 mins. when i drive out the carport parking make a left, then making a right the car shuts off while driving. this has happened 2 time's last month. same issue this month, but it has happened 10 times this month. i warm the car and then proceed to drive, shuts off completely , before it would start right up, now it's having a delayed starting issue as if it doesn't want to start. same routine as to warming up my car, i made a right onto the street and when slowing down because there was a dip, car shut off, 3 attempts to start it up. the car shut off again at the stop sigh before heading into a major intersection of oncoming traffic. it is now taking at most 3 times to attempt before the car starts and now the needles in the car on the dash board roll over from the 0 and back. it also has a delay when trying to exhilarate. this is happened to my on the streets while in motion, making turns, driving straight. this is very dangerous and the recall specified that the car could shut off while on the highway.

On saturday 29/9/2019 i was getting ready to go to work from fremont, ca to san jose, ca and my car wouldn't start. i had to press the push start several times to get it to start,. once it did start when i turned on the defroster it started shaking and turned off. i had to let it idle more than 15 minutes before it warmed up. i made it around the block about a quarter mile before i came to a stop sign and the car shut off. i managed to turn it back on and pull over. it continued to stall until i got back home. since then it's been shaking when on idle and it jerks between gears. while on the 880 freeway the car will decelerate during peak traffic hours causing me to have to pull over to the slow lanes to avoid getting rear ended. i'm taking to the dealership for diagnostics.

The car has shuts off while driving. i bought the car used last year in march 2018. it had issues w/jerking between gears and "hopping", but several months ago, just shut off while driving 75 mph on a highway (twice in 15 mins). dealership attempted to fix. but, its back to same problem. it shut off tuesday while out of town at a hotel while pulling out onto a 5 lane road. supposedly fixed, and then shut off on interstate 695 around baltimore last night while two lanes of traffic over. shutting off with -0- warning while traveling on busy interstates is extremely dangerous and possible life threatening. per research, this seems to be a major issue for this car, not sure why nhtsa has not recalled it yet.

The car dies in the middle of the road while driving. the engine stops, all the lights on the dash go out and there is no power steering or brakes. after about 5 minutes the car was able to start again.

I have had my the car completely cut of several times without warning. recently as i was backing out of the drive way the car turned off while in motion and all lights went out. after about 5 minutes the car was able to start and i moved it back into the driveway. it is like it lost all power because the clock was no longer set to the correct time. that was on monday 1/28/2019. today as approaching a stop sign the same thing happened again. without warning and no lights on the dash board. i have noticed that other cars within the same year have been recalled for similar issues but i have not received any notification. i would like my car looked at free of charge as this is a potentially dangerous situation. if i am in heavy traffic and the car just decides to turn off while in motion i can be seriously injured or killed. this is also not the first time i have filled this form out..

Takata recall.. i went to galena twice for the same problem. each time they've told me they fixed the problem. my service park brake comes on and so does the service transmission, it comes on when i start the car and doesn't allow me to shift gears. this is the second time i've had to deal with this problem. i am borderline wanting to go forth with a lawsuit because i fear my life is in danger when i drive this car. but i have no choice. i have three jobs and i'm a full time student so i need transportation that's reliable and i feel like with this car it's [xxx] far from it. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
