When I try to accelerate, the car starts out really slow. There is a lot of jerking and acceleration issues. When I try to accelerate, it acts like it is shifted to L, but then it speeds up. This is a constant issue.

As I was driving it it seems to hesitate on accelerating after a few stops the transmission light would come on for a little bit then go off. Same with the check engine light. As I was driving it to work on the highway.. it suddenly started losing power and I was able to pull over and park it at a gas station where it went completely dead.. I had aaa tow it.. it started up but the shifting is not engaging right away. Had the software updated in 2019.. the cvt transmission are full of problems. It seems to have the same symptoms as the recall but my car was not recalled according to the VIN number.. I had a flush done recently and I have also had the oil changed when needed. The acceleration hesitation then loss of power while driving 60 on the freeway is a safety issue... a lot of semi trucks travel that highway and they cant stop when a car loses power in front of them.
