My transmission would not shift out of second gear. I turned it off and back on and it did not clear. I got a "pre-safe unavailable" message. I did some research and learned this is a "transmission control module" failure. It is very unsafe in that the car cannot keep up with traffic and is a danger to myself and others.
This problem happen three times in about 6 minutes in one night. While driving at 70 miles per hour. The engine cut off, almost before i knew what happen the engine started back running. In less than a minute it happen again. The engine cut out then started before i could do anything. The third time it cut out complete and stayed off. I was able to move the side of the road and stop and restart the car. It was very scary, all the lights were off and i was on a busy highway at night. It's happen before about a year ago. I mention it to the dealer, they acted as if it was nothing they were aware of.

Manufacturer has not been contacted yet.
Went out to the car to go to the pharmacy to get my asthma meds and the car was down on the ground,totally deflated shocks. Start car and rises to height but sinks when car is off, this is a danger if driving on the highway at 55 mph, i have a wife and a young son. I feel that the dealers should recall and fix this problem correctly, and not have peoples lives in danger on the roads of america, any help would greatly be appreciated. Thank you , a cautious driver.
While driving the car the front end dropped making it very difficult to steer. Had to slowly move to the right lane while traffic is going 70. This could have killed me.
